Jordan! As I wrote to you, your new upgrade is broken for 2.2.X systems. 1. It will not install new boot blocks (see message below). 2. It will not build ELF kernel with ELF config and ELF tools on a running 2.2.X. (Am I right)? 3. It gives no chance to revert, because it installs ELF world before new boot blocks and new kernel get installed. Please revert your changes until you TEST IT on a running 2.2 system.

Two things that I had trouble with; (1) I was missing a directory `/usr/local/lib/aout' and (2) during the install it failed at "Installing new boot blocks", with error "disklabel: /dev/rda0: No such file or directory". I wasn't able to recover from the last error. I tried (cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV da0)... no good. I guess MAKEDEV has not been updated at this point in the install? Or maybe I missed a manual step somewhere. Don't know, I haven't had a chance to get back to it.
