I also don't see a make installworld. Joe, please try booting from a 6.2-release install ISO. If it works without panicing, then you did something wrong during the upgrade. Since by your own admission your not an expert, you would be well advised to simply back up your files the old fashioned way, reformat your hard disk, install from a 6.2 boot ISO, then restore your files. Leave the fancy in-place updating to someone else. It's a big PIA and doesen't work half the time anyway. Ted
