I don't believe there has been an updated > 2.2.5-STABLE snap. Ah, I've also been pulling the RELENG_2_2 tag via cvsup, which I now assume maps to 2.2.5-STABLE. Now I'm confused. I had assumed the 3.0-*-SNAP's were "freebsd-current" and the 2.2-*-SNAPS were "freebsd-stable", per the handbook. If the 2.2-*-SNAPs aren't RELENG_2_2, what are they? Or if I'm completely confused, clues into the supfile tag to use for 2.2.5-STABLE would be appreciated. > Mine works great. :) Excellent!

That's what I eventually want to do but I'm worried about failure modes with the upgrade interacting with PAO already on the system. I also want to wipe and repartition the system, so install time sounded like a good time. However, it now sounds like my choice for doing the wipe means putting PAO back on after partitioning/newfs'ing and then cvsup/build/upgrade. Hmm, that partition map doesn't look so bad after all - I think I'll update the sources and install over the running PAO and see what happens first... Thanks for the info!
