>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-971006-SNAP i386
>Organization:
Defenestrating the 'net since 1987!
>Environment:

	Upgrade from 2.2.2-RELEASE to 3.0-971006-SNAP.

>Description:

	Some glitches hit which made it not quite as smooth as some
	other previous upgrades.

	According to /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current, some of this stuff has
	been fixed already;  it's probably a good citizen gesture to
	notify people anyway.

	*  sysinstall left zero-length "kernel.config" in root directory
	*  old pre-upgrade kernel left in /kernel (which made mounting
	   filesystems a bit interesting -- /kernel.GENERIC to the rescue!)
	*  ijppp was severely broken:  -ddial gave EINTR in OpenModem(),
	   normal mode failed CHAP authentication for no apparent reason.
	   Used CVS CD from the snapshot distribution to check-out a 
	   970701 version of ijppp which worked, enabling me to ftp
	   -current's ijppp which also worked.  To be expected on a 
	   snapshot CD, I suppose :-)
	*  union_mod.o was out of date.  Rebuilt copy worked fine.

	Was painless apart from all that <grin>

>How-To-Repeat:

	Upgrade from 2.2.2-RELEASE to October's SNAP.

>Fix:
	
	See above.

 OK for a null (boot-time) kernel config.

 It can only work if kernel is compiled with option UNION, and then you
 don't need it.  It is no longer built from the top level Makefile, so
 the out of date one is probably garbage that the SNAP neither overwrote
 nore removed.
