To build the world I just type "make buildworld" (after a cvsup of stable-supfile). > Also, when you installed FreeBSD, did you completely format the disk > (re-create all the filesystems, etc.)? =A0Or are you re-using filesystems= ? > You said you "grabbed an old disk", and you also said this, which is > worrisome: The old disk was a linux drive. The install disk was unable to write to /dev/ad0 on it. I had to boot from my old FreeBSD drive and force the file systems to mount without fscking. The kernel detected the linux drive as a geom system, but it couldn't destroy the system. I had to unload the module from the kernel, and then I was able to write to the raw device. I zeroed out the MBR with dd, and then went back to the install disk which could finally create partitions on it. I used the auto defaults in the install menus. > If you wanted to try something, I would recommend downloading a > 8.1-PRERELEASE snapshots and installing that. > > ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201006/ That would probably be the fastest and easiest thing to do, but it feels like I'd be admitting defeat. And it would take forever to compile emacs again. I have an iso downloading now. > Why would you have to refresh the base packages from the CD? =A0You were > *building* world, not installing it, when you saw the above error. =A0I > don't see how reinstalling binaries into /usr, /usr/lib, etc. would "get > you a stable system" when all that was broken was buildworld. Why? Because I'd compiled and installed a handful of libraries from 8.1 that weren't compatible with all my other libraries, and I didn't use the option for install to keep a backup, so the CD was my only source of bringing back working libraries. > | Making life hard for others since 1977. =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0PGP:= 4BD6C0CB | I got my first computer in February of 1977.
