for temp file for many of the prompts. Now my 5.5 kernel boots, but
there are a number of messages of the form:
source_rc_confs: not found
$ipnat_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5)
$ipfs_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5)
etc....

I later read in the mailing list that someone had a simliar problem
and solved it by re-running the mergemaster step. I tried that too,
and this time I selected <default> answer to all the prompts about
conflicts.
The default operation in mergemaster is to do nothing, so if you're
going to choose the default the whole way, you might as well skip
running mergemaster at all.
Yes, well put. That clarified I was in fact consuming resources in a
less than optimal way :-)
Go back through mergemaster, and actually
pay attention to the changes. On files you haven't modified, you will
be able to (i)nstall the new versions of those files, but otherwise
you will need to (m)erge them.
Ok, I tried that but my system is too far gone. Close to 100
environment vars are missing and if I jam them all into rc.conf it
will be a mess, especially since I would be guessing at the
appropriate values for the vars.
My next step is to start from scratch (as Albi suggested.)
Unfortuntely, even with ipfw set to open, I am still getting no route
to host when I try and ping my gateway.
It was always pingable in the past, and I've checked the cable into my
new-ish switch and all seems fine, with green lights. The result of a
route -n is in another virtual terminal and I can't copy and paste,
but it lists the headers and then nothing for the details, i.e. no
routes are in the routing table at all.
OK pen and paper come to the rescue, here is the result of netstat -n on
my misconfigured, 5.5 stable, upgraded system that can not seem to ping
the gateway let alone do a cvsup:
Active UNIX domain sockets
Address Type Recv-Q Send-Q Inode Conn Refs NextRef Addr
c20761a4 Stream 0 0 c207a000 0
0 0 /var/run/devd.pipe
I tried trying ifup sis0 but I discovered ifup is no longer around.
Thanks,
Matthew
Further suggestions welcome, and thanks for your help so far.
Sincerely,
Matthew
