AFAIK, kldxref(8) can be runned _after_ booting in single mode. I use "fresh install" with all system updates(minor & major). I do it because -CURRENT changes too fast. simple sheme is: * * update buildworld buildkernel * installworld installkernel -DDESTDIR=/path/to/new/place * etc merging (for example, by etcmerge(1)) * boot fixing * (optionally) port installing in chroot (or jail) with new system * reboot -- Best regards, Arseny Nasokin
