I've done this twice now.. I install a clean 4.10-Release from ftp.
I install cvsupdate without gui. I create my cvsupdate file in etc
and run cvsupdate.
then per instructions from the website
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
# reboot
You should boot in single user mode (using boot -s from loader prompt
for example). Then run:
# mergemaster -p
# make installworld
======
I cvsup to releng_4_10.
the first hiccup comes with mergemaster as there are new accounts
created for pf. thats fine. I just merge the new accounts.
the second hiccup comes with the first invocation of make
installworld. It dies telling me there is no hints file. So I copy
GENERIC.hints to /boot and rerun. Then after a lot of work, make
installworld dies with a core dump. And, now I have a completely
unusable system. Everything is does with the same error -- my binary
and kernel and libs our completely out of sync.
I made two changes to make.conf (set usa resident, set noprofile).
my cvsufile is below.
where am I going wrong?
