I've been running FreeBSD 4.6 since last June, and I decided to upgrade to
5.0 Release.

I read through and followed the instructions listed in /usr/src/UPDATING.
Here is what I did (as per the UPDATING file):

cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
cp src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints /boot/device.hints
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
cd src/sys/boot
make install

The problem comes at the above command(s):
cd src/sys/boot ; make install

It goes through various files, but stops and says (I cannot copy and paste
the output, so here it is typed):

...
===> i386/btx/lib
install -c -o root -g wheel -m444   lib.a /usr/lib
install:  lib.a:  No such file or directory
*** Error code 71
...

You guys have been very helpful before, thank you in advance for looking at
it!
Any ideas?
Thanks!
James Turnbull
