The general comment is that you have to be at 3.5 to do that. However,
Engelshall had a process that worked for almost every concievable
difficulty at 3.5 > 4.x. There were somethings fixed in the week or so
after 4.2 was released and you might consider 4-stable. Some things in
Engleshall's procedure are out of date such as mv'ing /MYKERNEL to
/kernel but it touches on some of your problems. See
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=51796+57580+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-stable/20001015.freebsd-stable
If you have to fight upgrading and making two worlds (3.5 and 4.2-R),
a binary upgrade followed by making your world and kernel will be much
faster. The 4.x buildworld just about requires 2x as long as a
buildworld in 3.x. I use the buildworld sequence from
/usr/src/UPDATING almost religiously because I cvsup everytime I do a
build. I also like the idea of building everything before I start the
installs. In my situation, I found that putting the process into a
script would have everything built when I would go back to check on
the status. Doing the individual steps typically left me at just the
end of the buildworld.
