Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, FreeBSD gurus, Today I upgrade 2.2.5-Release from 2.2.2-Release on my machine. The following procedures that I upgrade it: 1. Make and boot floppy disk. 2. Backup /etc directory. 3. Boot from floppy disk and select 'upgrade' option. 4. Mount my original filesystems and NOT newfs them. 5. Select distributions(just /BIN) 6. It copies lastest /etc directory all files to /etc/upgrade directory. 7. Exit install menu and reboot. When I reboot, the problem is I CAN'T use 'root' or any user from login, seems these passwords not right, and it appears login failed. I try to boot 'single user mode', I check my original /etc directory files are the same, because the the lastest file move to /etc/upgrade directory. So why I can't use 'root' or any user accounts that I've created. Would anyone know how to solve this "serious issue"(for me), PLEASE tell me. Many thanks, Doug.
