I tried it. But unfortunately the upgrade was not completed and I ended with an unbootable system
. Luckily, I was able to find a bootable kernel (/boot/kernel.old using FixIt.
But finishing the update/upgrade was no possible; all freebsd-update-commands did not work. I rolled it back and do the upgrade to 11.0-RELEASE again - seems to work.I found something similar in the web in the meanwhile. Does that mean, it is a useful strategy to clean that directory regularly (e.g. after each upgrade)?
Another question comes up - again. Now that I approach to the latest RELEASE (with GENERIC kernel because I used smallest system to go from 8.1 to 10.3) I do get the messages I already posted at the thread start (endless loop) if I boot with dock (= CDRom)
- without that I have no problem to boot up to the login.I think, the only way to avoid that is to create a custom kernel, right? Upgrade has to got the old way
make buildworld make buildkernel ... then (I may need the CDRom sometimes).Ciao,

BTW: maybe it is time to start a new thread - at least for the last topic.
