                That is partially correct. You can do the upgrade using
'make
        upgrade' which does 2+ world builds for you. See
        http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/make-upgrade.html. However if I
understand
        your situation accurately you might be better off just wiping your
disk
        and starting fresh. Alternatively, if you can get your system to a
        stable/-stable version of 2.2.8 you should be able to do the make
upgrade
        using the procedure on that page. 


I wish it were that simple. I just tried doing make upgrade last night with
-STABLE, but the build crashed (an error with ioctl.c; there was an
undefined function in ioctl.c and another problem with one of the include
files; I didn't bring my script output with me today so I can't remember
exactly what the problems were.) Perhaps that's because I didn't have
2.2.8-STABLE (just -RELEASE). Thanks for the tip on the cited website; I'll
check it out.

I've tried starting fresh, but the new 3.2-RELEASE kernel hardware probe
hasn't been detecting my primary IDE controller (?); which is a mystery to
me.
