I won't comment on your reply but here is what I have been doing since 1999. vi stable-supfile cvsup -g -L2 stable-supfile cd /usr/src make buildworld make installworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=<your kernel name here> make installkernel KERNCONF=<your kernel name here> mergemaster update /stand/sysinstall reboot That's it without problems.
