6.3-RELEASE

I recovered my 6.3-RELEASE installation (from the kern bug) with a
hint from this freebsd-stable posting:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-September/028450.html
where a user was in the same state of missing the libbsm.so.1 (but not
from the kern bug).
From there I learned buildworld got him into a better state, but still
his sshd was busted. So I rebuilt the kernel and did a buildworld and my
6.3-RELEASE is now fixed. For the next user afflicted by kern/120733,
this is what I did:
## FROM /usr/src/UPDATING:
## General Notes: To Just Build a kernel when you know that it won't
mess you up
# cd /src/sys/${arch}/conf
# config GENERIC <-- this emits msg with the undocumented, extra
cleandepend step
# cd ../compile/GENERIC
# make cleandepend
# make depend
# make
# make install
Since my 6.3-RELEASE repair from kern/120733 had no recipe in UPDATING I
did my buildworld adapting from Section 23.4.1 of Handbook: The
Canonical Way to Rebuild your System
# reboot (to singleuser mode)
## THESE 2 WERE NOT DOCUMENTED:
# mount -u -w /dev/ad0s2a / [ change / to rw ]
# [ mount: /tmp, /var, /usr, /proc for PATH and whatever else might need
these partitions ]
# make buildworld
# mergemaster -p
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot
