I had a few problems going from fbsd-4.4r to -stable. I started over from scratch, this time with 4.5r and ran the entire process again, and it worked flawlessly! One of the people who responded to my original message has a web page describing the process so I followed his instructions and had no problems whatsoever. That is the site called www.hiltonbsd.com. Thankyou Mr. Hilton. In a nutshell, these are the steps I followed - # less /usr/src/UPDATING # cd /usr/obj/ # chflags -R noschg * # rm -rf usr (this didn't exist to begin with) # ls -la (it was empty before I even started) # cd /usr/src # make cleandir && make cleandir # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC # make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC # reboot # boot -s # fsck -p # mount -t ufs -a # swapon -a # cd /usr/src # make installworld # mergemaster -v # reboot # cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall # make clean # make all install clean After this I had to add my user account back into /etc/passwd, I thought I'd taken care of that during the mergemaster, but it didn't show up in /etc/passwd.I'm still a bit confused by the mergemaster screens. Everthing I've read refers to there being a split view, left and right, but that's not what I got. I had the old lines and the new lines all in one view, with +'s and -'s. So I probably messed up on that, but it was a simple fix after all was said and done. So, this is just a thankyou to all the responses and help in my first makeworld. Now I'll do it to another machine here at home, then maybe I'll do my webserver and firewall boxes. :-) Regards, Chip W www.wiegand.org chip@wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
