I'm updating a machine from:
FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r331659: Thu Mar 29 12:31:36 EDT 2018 amd64
to CURRENT (as of last midnight.
Does this, in src/UPDATING:
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries
needed to do an installworld, you must include the
COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may
leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is required to run the 5.x
binaries on more recent kernels. And so on for COMPAT_FREEBSD6
and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
still apply?
(It seems ... irrational ... one would need compatibility stuff
going back to FreeBSD 4 to rebuild/update FreeBSD 13.)
Respectfully,
Robert Huff
