Hello Everyone, I just thought of upgrading from FreeBSD 6 BETA5 to 6-STABLE so I followed the http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html manual page. I reached to a point where I had to reboot into single user mode to continue with make installworld and mergemaster but I wasn't able to boot into single user mode. The machine was hanging saying:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a I tried and tried and kept on trying with no luck, I disable some modules during kernel bootup and unset some variables but no luck! Anyhow, one of the guys on IRC told me to build a GENERIC kernel to at least boot so I built it but it panicked! My only way to boot my system now is going to the loader prompt and boot /boot/kernel.old/kernel No here comes my question, by booting this way, can I still create a new GENERIC kernel in order to upgrade my system? I would really appreciate your advice
