This is a note for someone upgrading from 4.4 stable to current 5.0 comes right out of my experience in doing so the file /usr/src/UPGRADE doesnt detail the following step I didnt see ne 1 post this before may be it will help some newbie like myself and perhaps somebody will add it to the UPGRADE file
after rebuilding the world and the kernel for 5.0 (after cvsuping the src to current , ofcourse) on a system previously running on 4.4 stable installed right out of the FreeBSD purchased CD's it is necessary to reinstall the loader to get it to run the new kernel. to do it I just cd(ed) to /usr/src/sys/boot/i386 make all ; make install; if this step is not done the new kernel will never boot -- I spent like 4\5 hours figuring it out couldnt find any documentation about it anywhere the location of the old kernel is /kernel and the modules is /modules however the new kernel and modules resides in /boot/kernel On a personal note I like the new location better have fun Saurabh Gupta To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
