I have a 2.2.8-R system I'm trying to upgrade to 3.4-R. I downloaded the boot floppies off ftp.freebsd.org from the 3.4-R floppies directory, and booted off those, then selected the Upgrade option at the appropriate point. After asking me to label my slices, it does a fsck on the root slice /dev/rwd0s1a, then a 'fsck -y /dev/rwd1s1g' which goes through fine, then a 'fsck -y /dev/rwd0s1e' and at this point, all disk activity stops and it just hangs indefinitely. From looking on the other virtual console (ALT-F2), I see it stopped at: ** /dev/rwd0s1e ** Last Mounted on /usr ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames On either console, CTRL-C is unresponsive, even ALT-CTRL-DEL doesn't do anything. If I reboot back into 2.2.8 single-user mode, I can fsck that slice just fine, no problems. But the 3.4 sysinstall hangs up on it every time. Is there anyway to tell sysinstall's Upgrade option to skip the fsck, or to fix it? On another note, when downloading the floppies, I see a subdirectory, /updates/, that contains a slightly more recent version of mfsroot.flp. I tried both, but noticed no difference. What's up with that? ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-RELEASE/floppies/updates Ken Bolingbroke hacker@bolingbroke.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
