FreeBSD The third beta of FreeBSD 7.0 has been released. I cannot seem to find any information on changes between the second beta and this one. Additionally, the release schedule doesn't even list a third beta.

You forgot something just before and after "# make installworld" ;)

The correct steps are:

1) # make buildworld buildkernel
2) # make installkernel
3) Reboot in Single User Mode, either pressing F4 or boot -s
4) # mergemaster -p
5) # cd /usr/src
6) # make installworld
7) # mergemaster

Then reboot ;)

Greets!

"You forgot something just before and after "# make installworld" ;) "

No no Sir, I didn't forget it, I just didn't mention it. :-)

Your listing is more complete than mine, but it would be nessessary to insert

0) # cd /usr/src

at the first place. :-)

I just wanted to show where the critical stages of the installation are located (most critical at installworld). Forgetting the mergemaster could result in outdated configuration files, for example. Furthermore, there is the option of having KERNCONF= set to a custom kernel configuration file. Reading the handbook before starting the update procedure is highly recommended in any way.

Indeed! ;)

An I should point out a typo I wrote on step 3.
It should be "either pressing number 4, or boot -s"

And not pressing F4 :-)
