The handbook says this: Q: How do I upgrade from 3.X -> 4.X? A: We strongly recommend that you use binary snapshots to do this. 4-STABLE snapshots are available at releng4.FreeBSD.org. and the UPGRADE.TXT file at ftp://releng4.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.1-20001004-STABLE/UPGRADE.TXT says that fstab should look like this # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/wd0s2b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s2f /local0 ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s2e /usr ufs rw 1 1 But, wd devices are no longer recognized by 4.0 and when I have tried, using the upgrade in /stand/sysinstall after booting from new floppies, I have had missing devices, not yet built for my ide hard drives. It seems like chicken and egg. I have had to revert to 3.51 which I luckily managed to do without mishap. How do I get the ata devices built from 3.51 so I can install 4.1.1? I know I'm missing something, but I don't know what it is. Thanks.
