P4's features are a strict superset to those of P2 or P3. This error might have to do with something completely different like faulty hardware or damaged data. It was unnecessary to chroot, I think. Try the DESTDIR option: cd /usr/src && make world DESTDIR=3D/path/to/mnt cd /usr/src && make kernel DESTDIR=3D/path/to/mnt mergemaster -D /path/to/mnt You'll also need to set the disk active. Try something like "fdisk -a /dev/ad1", but I'm not experienced in this wizardry.
