I'm not having any luck - I'm started to feel like I'm missing something here :)

I cvsup'd yesterday afternoon, and did my usual make buildworld, kernel, install kernel, single user mode, then make installworld - except it bombed on the installworld. I ignored the message moved on.



You missed a step. The HEADS UP sent to -current said you needed to reboot between kernel install and world install.

This is the strictly safe way of upgrading always.  However, many people
skip the reboot (and even the drop to single-user mode) as a shortcut.
Sometimes, the shortcut works.  This time, it doesn't. :-)

Unfortunately, I had unsubscribed myself from the list a few weeks ago when I went to a Usenix conference, and forgot to resubscribe! Woops.

All fixed up now though. At least now I know what I did wrong - thanks!
