Do I really have to install 4.0 > then grab the 4.3 sources off CD and make world? :-( 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. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
