I always use CVSup and build world. So I fall into the same hole with no way up. I use gmirror, my device names are full including slice (e.g. /dev/mirror/gm0s1a and it was produced from /dev/ad4s1a some years ago), so I think I'm not using =E2=80=9Cdangerously dedicated=E2=80=9D mode... After the update I'm unable to mount root. Thanks God I have my old (7.2 release) kernel... Since I have some servers to manage I am very interested how should I upgrade to 8.0 Rel? Thanks in advance for all your advices!
