>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-971006-SNAP i386
>Environment:

	Upgrade from 2.2.2-RELEASE to 3.0-971006-SNAP.

>Description:

	Some glitches hit which made it not quite as smooth as some
	other previous upgrades.

	According to /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current, some of this stuff has
	been fixed already;  it's probably a good citizen gesture to
	notify people anyway.

	*  sysinstall left zero-length "kernel.config" in root directory
	*  old pre-upgrade kernel left in /kernel (which made mounting
	   filesystems a bit interesting -- /kernel.GENERIC to the rescue!)
	*  ijppp was severely broken:  -ddial gave EINTR in OpenModem(),
	   normal mode failed CHAP authentication for no apparent reason.
	   Used CVS CD from the snapshot distribution to check-out a 
	   970701 version of ijppp which worked, enabling me to ftp
	   -current's ijppp which also worked.  To be expected on a 
	   snapshot CD, I suppose :-)
	*  union_mod.o was out of date.  Rebuilt copy worked fine.

	Was painless apart from all that <grin>

>How-To-Repeat:

	Upgrade from 2.2.2-RELEASE to October's SNAP.

>Fix:
	
	See above.
