I was upgrading from 4.10-STABLE to 5.4-STABLE, following the
instructions in the freebsd handbook and something went wrong.
I used CVSup to update my sources. I built the world and kernel as follows:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld && make buildkernel
I am using the GENERIC config. I had to copy
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints to /boot/device.hints. Before the
above builds worked properly.
I installed the kernel, and rebooted the system.
It booted (mostly) ok, sudo did not work properly, so I had to login as
root. I did mergemaster -p. I had to add the new proxy user and group
for pf. After this, I did:
cd /usr/src/
make installworld
during the process, it died in:
/usr/src/bin/test
with Signal 12.
No commands worked after this point, All I received was Signal 12. I
cannot boot into single user mode, I receive a Signal 12 from any shell
I try to use.
I understand a Signal 12 is a non-existant system call. The half
installworld probably caused this.
How can I recover from this?
Thanks.
