Just a wild guess since you explicitely mention the kernel:

I had a 4.0-release install right from the cd pack. I extracted the source
from the cd and then updated it to -current (both /usr/src and /usr/src/sys).
then i built the new kernel, reboot, and was going to build the userland
when i ran into the bnx firmware problem.
i installed the firmware following the instructions above, reboot, and then
attempted to build the userland.
In section 5.3.4 of the FAQ, after building installing the new kernel...
At this point, reboot your machine to activate this new kernel. Note
that the new kernel should be running before the next step, though if
you have followed the above advice about upgrading to the most
recent available snapshot, it may not matter as much. Sometimes,
however, APIs change, and the old kernel will be unable to run new
applications, but the new kernel will generally support the old ones.
however, when I went to build the userland (after rebooting with the new
kernel and rebooting after installing the bnx firmware), the build itself went
fine (as far as i can tell) but when it was installing everything, i got the
following kernel panic:
uvm_fault(0xd0761680, 0xefd32000, 0, 1) - e
kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Stopped at pmap_page_remove_86+0x114: movl 0(%eax, %edx, 4), %eax)
ddb{3}
(my USB keyboard stopped working at that point, and i could not obtain a 'ps'
or 'trace' output...my apologies)
when I reboot, I get the following error after most of the kernel
loads, right afer
the two bnx devices are found:
init: not found
panic: no init
Stopped at Debugger+0x4: leave
I guess I should NOT have reboot before building the userland? After
reading the portion of the FAQ I posted above, I thought rebooting would
be the 'safe' thing to do.

and when I reboot, the two bnx devices could not find firmware
in /etc/firmware. It appears to be looking for /etc/firmware/bnx,
but that file is not present.
try the following:
# cd /usr/src/sys/dev/microcode/bnx
# make
that should produce a file named 'bnx' in that directory. copy it to
/etc/firmware and reboot.
That may solve the immediate problem, but i suspect you might have
more problems than you noticed yet.
I can reboot the old kernel just fine (so it appears the old bnx
driver did not require it). Curious how/where the new firmware for
bnx is located at, and where I can obtain a copy.

No, at least on i386, they are just contained in base40.tgz.

Very strange. After properly updating to 4.0-current on i386,
/etc/firmware/bnx is in place. I just did a source upgrade of
my development machine tonight:

That's fine, indeed. :-) I extracted the source from the cd and then updated it to -current (both /usr/src and /usr/src/sys). then i built the new kernel, This is not the safest road to -current. Better get a snapshot and use the standard install or upgrade process before you try to compile a -current system. reboot, and was going to build the userland when i ran into the bnx firmware problem. Well, that is about the reason why large jumps forward are more easily done by binary than by source upgrades: $ tar -tzvf 4.0-release/i386/base40.tgz | grep bnx | cut -b56- ./usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-openbsd/dev/pci/if_bnxreg.ph $ tar -tzvf 4.0-current/i386/base40.tgz | grep bnx | cut -b56- ./etc/firmware/bnx ./etc/firmware/bnx-license ./usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-openbsd/dev/pci/if_bnxreg.ph If you try to compile a new system, you always run a risk that some part of the task turns out to be non-trivial because something changed in between. The risk increases with time, and going from 4.0-release to 4.0-current in one step proved more difficult than you liked. The FAQ section 5.3.4 you cite is certainly important, yet you should not overlook section 5.3.2, either: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldBinary [...] init: not found panic: no init Ooops. That's bad. Apparently, you trashed /sbin, and quite possibly more besides. Do not try to repair that system, at very best, it will result in a waste of time. Reconsider whether you actually need -current. If you are not quite sure, use -stable instead. In case you are really sure you want -current, use the latest snapshot - and stay with that, if you can. See FAQ 5.2: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#WhySrc When you feel the need to upgrade, get the next snapshot.
