[afnog] mergemaster mess

[Julius E. Kidubuka]

Hello Mike,

First of all, you didn't mention exactly what you are doing and
which version of BSD your are using.

Seconly am not really certain about your error but I remember
(abt a year or so ago) trying to upgrade from FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE
to 4.11-STABLE and I too had a not so similar problem but all
the same used similar method.

>From the info you've provided, it seems like you are trying to do an
upgrade. If so, you could try to do the following (in specific order);


cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup
cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile

cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make installworld

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
config -r MYKERN
cd /usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERN
make depend
make
make install

cp -r /etc  /etc.backup    /* Just to make a backup of your /etc dir */

mergemaster -p

reboot



Hope this helps.

Rgds,
Julius.
