Option 1: cd /usr/src && \ make buildworld (if you're sure the installed kernel can run it) Option 2: cd /usr/src && make world kernel (in the order documented in UPDATING) Then: cd /usr/src/release make release ... Like I said, if you hit a problem before May 5, it's totally different from the "fresh world bits" issue. Rather, it's just a WIP of twiddling with bsdlabel/disklabel, and not committing the supporting patches to release/Makefile and friends (some of them are still necessary). bsdlabel(8) is only linked to disklabel(8) after $FreeBSD: src/sbin/bsdlabel/Makefile,v 1.15 2003/05/05 21:28:08 phk Exp $ commit. My patch that I sent to phk@ on May 3 dealt with this, by using bsdlabel(8) if it exists. This is now less of an issue, except for bsdlabel not ending up on the fixit floppy and a non-working sparc64/mkisoimages.sh.
