Actually, I think I did... mergemaster?

Maybe no one caught it and assumed it was just a ranting flame, But I imagine running mergemaster and making sure the system is synch'd would make a world of difference.

Just a token thought.

Okay, let's see here.

First off you install FreeBSD 5.1, UFS2 possibly but I guess UFS1 since it
booted 4.9

Some stupid reason you downgraded to 4.9, didn't run mergemaster, so all
your /etc files are out of whack, and now you're bitching that you're
trying to do buildworld again, and getting errors.

Amazing.

Truly Amazing

Comments anyone?

Hi Guys, here's the scenario:

1. Had FreeBSD 5.1 system running.
2. Did a cvsup get of stable (that's right, stable, so 4.9) 3.
Compiled make buildworld, then did a make build world, and re-compiled
with generic kernel 4. Booted into a system which could not mount the
file system (expected since its 4.9)

So now I am trying to save the system and here's where I've gotten to:

1. Booted disc 2 of 5.1 cd into "fixme" mode.
2. Mounted live cdrom filesystem and then mounted my root drive to
/mnt 3. Did a chroot to /mnt so that I would emulate my live system
environment 4. Re-did a cvsup of the branch current.
5. Ran make buildworld from /usr/src

Here is what happens when I do that:

"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
"/usr/src/Makefile.inc1", line 156: warning:

CPUTYPE=dummy -V CPUTYPE" returned non-zero status
"/usr/src/Makefile.inc1", line 158: CPUTYPE global should be set with ?=.
*** Error code 1

Help!
