Hi all, I've been experimenting with upgrading 4.X to 5.3-STABLE. The challenge I've been given is that the box to be upgraded is physically inaccessible and so there's no console access. All I have to work with is ssh and scp. In our lab I built a box to 5.3-STABLE. I then used the /usr/obj directories from that build to start a "remote" upgrade on another lab box. Things have gone reasonably well. I was able to successfully make installworld using a rc.d script even though it reboots into multi-user mode after installing the kernel. The problem is that rc.conf isn't getting sourced properly after the installworld. I figure that something more is needed with mergemaster. I run mergemaster -ia through my rc.d script, but that's apparently insufficient. So what I'm wondering is this: What do I need in place to make sure that networking will come up and sshd will start after upgrading 4.X to 5.3? Thanks, DMKhome | help
