My freebsd server is on Amazon AWS using http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-on-ec2/ A bit nervous because there is no local console. Just installed a new test/obsolete 8.3 box and will try the upgrade to 8.4 using these commands: svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8 /usr/src cd /usr/src make buildworld make kernel make installworld mergemaster -Ui reboot On Sun, Sep 28, 2014 at 3:30 PM, Axel wrote: > On Sun, Sep 28, 2014 at 9:04 PM, firmdog@gmail.com > wrote: >> >> OK.
