Hi stable@ people
In a jail, uname -r 10.3-RELEASE-p4, I started
cd /usr/src ; make buildworld,
then realised per
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
I will not be able to
make installkernel ; reboot
preceeding
make installworld
Am I on route to shooting myself in the foot ?
It survived. No shot foot :-)
Just to let you know. I have done this for years on versions 4 through to 10
and never had a single problem. Only on minor version upgrades though from
say 10.2 to 10.3. My procedure is:
make -j4 buildworld && make -j4 buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
mergemaster
shutdown -r now
make delete-old
make delete-old-libs
I do this because I don't have a keyboard or monitor on the machine during
normal use. This has *always* worked fine. However for a major version
upgrade from say 10.x to 11.x I have always done it the correct and proper
way using single user mode via the console.
Can't recall the last time I did single user. It might have been more
than a decade now. Here is what I do:

(And no, "kernel" is not a mistake.)
