If you actually ran the upgrade from the install
media to do this I have no idea what sort of cruft you've
left messed up. Most of us on the list are probably
shaking our heads....
paul,
i am surprised that you didn't reinstall. seems easy enough provided you
backup your mail directories, or, better yet, you move them to a
different machine and then mount them via NFS until you're ready to
migrate them back to the local machine, assuming that's where you want them.
even if you have a very complex setup (e.g. lots of patched and tuned
ports), it shouldn't be too hard to copy the relevant files and install
the ports.
My advice? get another box, start from scratch
on i386 and see what you can salvage. My suspicion is
it's pretty messed. Hope you've got some sort of
backup on tape or elsewhere.
i sincerely hope that you made a dump/backup of the machine prior to the
"upgrade".
best of luck,
jake
