Well, that's just what I spent today doing...
installed 4.0 from CD, /4.3cdrom/src/install.sh, buildworld,
installworld, buildkernel, installkernel (using old kernel config file
saved from its 4.2 days), mergemaster including MAKEDEV, and I even built
and installed the new sysinstall, so everything should be in synch. It
booted up just fine, and ps doesn't complain.
Now when I run /stand/sysinstall I get a segmentation fault.
Any idea why? Is there something about the recent versions of
sysinstall that it won't work on this machine, neither during nor
after install, or have I goofed somewhere? There's a core file
but I don't know how to debug them, or even if it's worth doing.
