As i was going thru the "UPDATING" file, do i need to compile the new kernel first before doing make world ?? Also how do i create a rescue disk ?? Please suggest other cautions too!
My usual procedure is, (using pre-tweaked kernel config) cvsup -g -L2 supfile cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installworld
mergemaster -a compare it manually and (cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV all) at least check all of the rc* and defaults files better the whole etc stuff before rebooting. if updating remote systems try it locally on a box in advance :-)
And, still being paranoid, I might start doing a mergemaster -p before the buildworld, although I'm not sure it should be a standard practice. I can see it leading to some when adjusting files in /etc before actually building the new world.
