Kris, Thanks for your quick response. I did read the Handbook, and googled carefully before I used freebsd-update.sh to migrate from 6.1 to 6.3. (Relevant documentation suggested only minor to minor revision migration was supported, except 6.3 to 7.0 would work.) So I migrated to 6.3 intending to then migrate to 7.0, but I experienced this kern/120733 bug, leaving the 6.3 installation in a disabled state. I did email the person responsible, but it is vacation season after all. Are you (or is anyone) aware of any way to upgrade to 7.0 from the 6.3-RELEASE installation in this disabled state, i.e. without having to do a fresh 7.0 install and a manual port all my application configurations? (Given what happened when I followed the best documentation around, I'm reluctant to experiment.)
