A cvsup and "make buildworld", "make installworld" will NOT work in 4.3 its simply to old a version. I had the same problem my self, and its in one of the errata's and mailing lists that its not possible. What I did was do buildworld on another machine (A fbsd v4.6 server) and then tared up the /usr/src and /usr/obj and transferred it to the other machine which was far away on the internet. If its LAN you just do NFS export of the /usr/src and /usr/obj dirs and mount them on the 4.3 server. Then just extract the tarball to /usr/src and /usr/obj and do a make installworld there from that. Also I am pretty sure the last ISO for FreeBSD is a fix iso, that has a prebuild setup on the iso where you can just do a "make installworld" from the mounted CD onto your 4.3 server. Don't let any tell you that you can buildworld to 4.7 from 4.3, my situation was actually from 4.3 to 4.5 or 4.6 actually and that still didn't work, Like I said its in the errata somewhere. Also don't skip the "mergemaster" after installworld, your gonna need it :) Good luck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alvaro Rosales R." <aran80@wintersperu.com.pe> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 6:31 AM Subject: How to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.7 > Hi fellows , can you tell me how can I upgrade my FreeBSD release 4.3 > to 4.7? . > Thanks for your help > > > > > > > > > > > > Alvaro A.
