Hi I had the same problems also when i started using freebsd, but I soon found out from fellow friends (from the freebsd-stable and freebsd-questions mailing list) who run freebsd and you might find this easy to do :), and get into a habit of doing this also :) First run *make buildworld && make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL* if no errors, then run *cp /kernel /kernel.prev && make installkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL *then reboot If everything is "OK" shutdown and reboot into single user mode mount all the filesystems you need (/usr, /var) *mount -u /, /usr, /var* then run *make installworld* then reboot an everything should be "OK", then thats your system updated, well almost you still have to use mergemaster :) if you modify your kernel just use *make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL && **make installkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL *If you want i have some shell scripts that do this automatically :) Nigel Taylor Lowell Gilbert wrote: >"Brent Bailey" <misterb@bmyster.com> writes: > > > >>>The latter, not the former. >>>You want to be running the *new* kernel before starting the system >>>install. >>> >>> >>what do yoyu mean ???? >>are you saying i have to recompile the kernel befor i start the system >>install ?? >> >> > >Yes, that's exactly what I mean. > > > >>install ?? there already is a custom kernel built ... >> >> >># cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf >># /usr/sbin/config YOURKERNEL >># cd ../../compile/YOURKERNEL >># make clean >># make depend >># make >># make install >> >>sorry about asking this over an over but...im a little confused >> >> > >Your *original* set of instructions did this correctly, assuming you >remember to do a full reboot before starting to install the userland. >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > >
