I tried to upgrade a 7.2 system to 8.0. It uses a SCSI drive. It works fine on 7.2. However, it would appear that during the upgrade process when running make delete-old (?) there is a note about make delete-old-libs (?). Don't do that at that point. End of system. Make installworld fails miserably. Unfortunately rebooting caused numerous problems. First the /etc/fstab was listed as corrupt. Then it quit booting altogether. A complete reload from the disc 1 goes nowhere either. It installs just fine but when it goes to reboot, All I get is F1 followed by a bunch of increasing #s. Any key just adds more to the list. I have tried with both the standard and FreeBSD boot managers with the same result. Is there anyway to get it to boot off the SCSI drive? I couldn't find anything related to this in the forums etc.
