It did, although I did eventually remake them. I did: mv /dev /dev.old mkdir /dev cp /usr/src/etc/MAKE* /dev sh MAKEDEV all I also had to make the partition entries for my IDE drive: sh MAKEDEV ad0s4a Then I edited /etc/fstab to reflect the new devices --Very Important! Of course I also ran mergemaster to update the /etc directory. That's it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

It seems like it contains good information for those who have been on the track for awhile, while being a bit cryptic for people new to the process. Since this is a development version, I suppose that's to be expected. I followed the instructions that someone else posted on -questions: make buildworld make buildkernel &&make installkernel Then reboot in single user mode make -DNOINFO installworld make buildkernel &&make installkernel (again) make installworld This worked for me perfectly.

Re: Upgrade from 3.4 to 4.0...
Well, I guess what confused me is the order I would assume that the last entry, being the newest, would have all the steps listed that are currently needed. Maby its just me and, I am really not tyring to cause a hassle, maby I am reading it wrong. It seems to me that you need to piece together what you need be applying past steps and seeing what has changed. I guess what I am looking for is a : 1) xx 2) xx 3) xx type of thing. Again, thats what confused me. Maby others can see it fine, but it lost me.

I made the transition on my laptop from 3.3-RELEASE to 4.0-CURRENT about six months ago, so my experience wouldn't help you much, unfortunately.

Should be fairly easy, if you do it the cvsup/make world way.. there's a lot of different thorns here and there so I'm not real sure what it would be like once 4.0-RELEASE goes out. -- Will Andrews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++> DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e-> h! r-->+++ y?

Upgrade from 3.4 to 4.0...
Hey, I have been following the disscussions here for a while, just trying to get a feel of what the transition from 3.4-stable 4.0-release will be like. I am running -current on my alpha, but that was a fresh install. I am debating trying -current on my laptop, but before we go there, I would like to inquire as to what shape the transition is in. Are there steps posted somewhere that work? Also, what condition (I know, I am asking you to read the future) do you expect the transition to be like at the end of the month when 4.0 -release comes out. Lastly, if I were to be so brave as to go from 3.4 to 4.0 -current now, where would I find the nessary instructions? -- E-Mail: William Woods <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 22-Feb-00 Time: 20:40:26l FreeBSD 3.4 -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
