I have a specific case right now where both the package and ort built item core dump on 5.3 (can't test with 4.10 as I don't have any spare machines). What then? Also, if you use CVSUP and build world and build kernel and you end up with a OS version like FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 #0, the sysinstall method doesn't work, as it can't find a file set for your release on any server. I was more following Sue Blake's FAK for newbies and asking for more self help techniques than a very specific resolution, just looking for a few "next steps" to get a better picture of what caused the core dump, to find clues that may lead to a resolution. Anyone have any advice?
