To successfully use up-to-date tools, one would also need to be running an up-to-date kernel; this is especially true in the disk^Wbsdlabel(8) case that relies heavily on GEOM part of the kernel -- even if you'll be able to cross-compile bsdlabel and install it under ${CHROOTDIR}, the running kernel may still be inadequate for running it. I think PHK is the spokesman here. > >How-To-Repeat: > difficult -- review the Alpha 5.1-BETA re-alpha thread. > > >Fix: > > add 'make -DNOGAMES -DNOHTML -DNOINFO -DNOMAN -DNOPROFILE installworld' > to {CHROOT}/mk. > This would be backwards; see log for release/Makefile,v 1.672 for more details. A proper "fix" would be to either manually upgrade the necessary bits (kernel and disk tools) with up-to-date copies, or just do a full upgrade before attempting to "make release".
