Ah, that message. Sorry, I didn't write it down. Hadn't decided yet to *not* to re-install again, so why bother. However I am quite new to FreeBSD, maybe these (boot) messages get stored and kept for a few revisions like the maillog? Also I hadn't realized expert help would be so readily available to analyze such messages. Therefore I wasn't inquiring into that aspect of the situation but as to what the effect of a thing like 'make world' would be. If it rebuilds all binaries then I can rest assure that all rebuild binaries will be reasonably correct. Because barring very odd source mutilations a corrupt source file will fail to compile. That would leave the configuration files. But those are mostly textual and corruption will normally result in complaints from the program that needs it. So to my thinking a 'make world' would provide a means to verify the correctness of the system. What I am wondering now is how correct my thinking is. Remember, I've never 'made world' .
