hi,
this is what I did in updating my FreeBSD4.1 to 4.2 stable
edit /etc/make.conf
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
NOPROFILE= true
cd /usr/obj
chflags -R noschg *
rm -rf *
now compile:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
update kernel:
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
shutdown now
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs
swapon -a
install world:
cd /usr/src
make installworld
cp -Rp /etc /etc.old
/usr/sbin/mergemaster -v -w 132
update /dev:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV all
update /stand
cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
make clean
make all install
REBOOT
now after I reboot the system, lots of error messge popped up (below is one of the error message), Login prompt doesn't show already, I think what I miss is the step:
./MAKEDEV all
how can I rescue my system, or do I have to reinstall the whole thing again (I hope not)..Im totally a newbie in FreeBSD and this is my first time in Buildingworld.
PLEASE HELP ME
thanks!
one of the error message:
init:can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv5 : No such file or directory
others were:
for port /dev/ttyv1 , ttyv2, ttyv1, etc.

you may want to try making it simpler if its your first time.
here are the steps I take and they have worked flawlessly since 4.0-release
after cvsuping:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot
i also had to re-make all my devices when I updated from 4.2-release to 4.2-stable (did this in betfore rebooting), which i haven't had to do since going from 3.5 to 4.0
thats it...no editing, no extra flags...perfect updating on 2 different systems, one of which was done remotely (i get bored at work sometimes...)
I also cvsup the ports during buildworld.

don't MAKEDEV all. it will break things, afaik.
you might be able to boot into single user mode with a
boot -s interupting the 10 second delay
and make the devices you need. (ttyvX, your disk slices, etc )
if that can't fix it, your box may be hosed.
