Look at "the following recommended sequence": 1. make buildworld 2. make buildkernel 3. make installkernel 4. reboot in single user [*] 5. mergemaster -p 6. make installworld 7. mergemaster 8. reboot Your steps skip steps 4 and 5. Note that it's been said many times, especially with remote hosting. 4 can be modified to read something like: 4. Boot with only required programs to run steps 5 and 6. In most cases, it's just sshd that needs to be running. This means editing /etc/rc.conf and disabling everything except sshd and the IP networking/routing. The purpose of 4 is to stop other people, binaries, or daemons running and using files that need to be updated. Redirecting or piping in steps 1, 2, 3 and 6 are optional. I'd love to have a logfile myself most of these things. Either script(1) or tee(1) it. Please update your script per directions. and I would definitely cut the 4 && commands away from each other. they're not related and didn't seem to do the purpose you probably intended it to do. --Tim _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
