I recently decided to upgrade from FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE to FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE. However, after upgrade, I can no longer boot unless I boot kernel.prev. I'm not sure where I should look for help. The way that I attempted the upgrade was via /stand/sysintall via passive ftp. I now have the CD's. I figured that I could just boot to the CD and select upgrade. But, I really kinda wanted to know what went wrong. And, I wanted to get a second opinion (or thirty of them) before I did anything else. I have tarred up /etc and /home, but I never feel too secure with backups. So, I prefer to do the most uninvasive method.
