5.x-STABLE on PWS

[Conall O'Brien]

Hi,


I've already found a prior thread on the list regarding 5.4 RC boot CDs
not booting on a PWS.


I've experienced the exact same behaviour with the bootinst and disc 1
isos for 5.4-RC3 and 5.4 (the prior thread only has the issue with a
5.3RC bootinst iso).


As a result, I opted to install 4.11, which worked perfectly. However,
I've had to reinstall my base system more than once after attempting to
upgrade to RELENG_5 using a CVS checkout of the src tree.


I didn't manage to save the error messages, but buildworld was
succeeding, then installworld was failing, so the system was unable to
boot up again...
