Whenever I do a /stand/sysinstall and upgrade via FTP it completes 100% =
and says "Congratulations!  You must reboot your machine.."


Well, I reboot and once I get that first prompt where I have 10 seconds =
to select a default boot or a custom boot I press enter for the default =
and FreeBSD can't find my kernal!   It doesn't matter if I upgrde 3.1 =
Rel -> 3.1 Stable, -> 3.2 Rel, or 3.2 Stable - I always get the same =
problem!  Is there something I'm not doing after the upgrade (but before =
I reboot)?   If I CVSUP and makeworld do you think the same thing will =
still happen?  Is it better to CVSUP than to upgrade via binary?

I appreciate the help.. This is something I've been fighting for a while =
now.. Everytime the upgrade fails I completely re-install FreeBSD.


Regards,
Mark
