Yes, I did use the full path to mergemaster. After it failed I tried again inside the directory /usr/src/use.sbin/, and it still did not work. This was before make installworld, as specified in UPDATING, of course. After I ran pwd_mkdb I ran mergemaster again with the -p option and it worked. I don't know if that utility had anything to do with it. But it did finally work, and now make installworld is running, half-an-hour now. Another question - In the handbook, 19.4.11 Update /dev, is the next step, but it is unnecessary if using devfs. I don't know if I am using devfs. UPDATING does not specify this step. Do I assume I am using devfs and assume another mergemaster will take care of it? Also in the handbook, 19.4.12 Update /stand, is not mentioned in the UPDATING file. I know the handbook says it is not necessary, but is this recommended? The UPDATING file specifies to run mergemaster again after installworld, I assume I run it without any options, correct? Then a reboot should finish up the process.
