    hello,
            I am having some problems during my upgrde from FreeBSD 5.2
    RELEASE to FreeBSD 5 - STABLE. Everything works fine up to make
    installkernel. Next I run mergemaster -p, this is where I run into
    problems. I have no idea what options to select/menu items to select. I
    tried to go in blind but ended up locking myself out of my system. Please
    before you flame me or send me an RTFM reply, note that I have consulted
    the following sources;

    man mergemaster
    http://www.freebsddiary.org/mergemaster.php
    FreeBSD handbook Chapter 19 "the cutting edge"

    and of course I have run mergemaster through google/bsd.
    None of the documents I have read so far informs me of what to do once
    mergemaster is running. A URL to instructions or any other help would be
    great.

    Thanks,

    Brett
