Hello,

I tried to upgrade from 4.1-Release to Stable.
I used cvsup with tag=RELENG_4 expecting a stable version.
I built a GENERIC kernel.
At boottime I can see something with 4.2-Beta.
Afterwards it can't mount the root filesystem.
It seems that the da-devices have changed.
I tried MAKEDEV all.

Why do I get a beta version?
http://www.ch.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html states

  tag=RELENG_4
    The line of development for FreeBSD-4.X, also known as FreeBSD-STABLE.


The fstab reads as follows:

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/da0s3b             none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/da0s1a             /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/da0s3h             /home           ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/da0s3e             /tmp            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/da0s3g             /usr            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/da0s3f             /var            ufs     rw              2       2
[...]

Can I somehow adjust the device names in the fstab to make it run with
4.2-Beta?
