I was wondering what the best method was for upgrading from freebsd 7.x to 8.0 when you only have ssh as a means to connecting.
When i've upgraded in the past it was
buildworld
buildkernel
installkernel
reboot
mergemaster -p
installworld
mergemaster
reboot
but when i just tried that, the system didn't come back up after the first kernel install/reboot.
Did something go wrong with the kernel or is the procedure different with 8.0?
