Hi Guys, here's the scenario:
 
1. Had FreeBSD 5.1 system running.
2. Did a cvsup get of stable (that's right, stable, so 4.9)
3. Compiled make buildworld, then did a make build world, and re-compiled
with generic kernel
4. Booted into a system which could not mount the file system (expected
since its 4.9)
 
So now I am trying to save the system and here's where I've gotten to:
 
1. Booted disc 2 of 5.1 cd into "fixme" mode.
2. Mounted live cdrom filesystem and then mounted my root drive to /mnt
3. Did a chroot to /mnt so that I would emulate my live system environment
4. Re-did a cvsup of the branch current.
5. Ran make buildworld from /usr/src
 
Here is what happens when I do that:
 
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator 
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator 
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator 
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator 
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator 
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator 
"/dev/null", line 1: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
"/usr/src/Makefile.inc1", line 156: warning:
"/usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make -f /dev/null -m /usr/src/share/mk
CPUTYPE=dummy -V CPUTYPE" returned non-zero status
"/usr/src/Makefile.inc1", line 158: CPUTYPE global should be set with ?=.
*** Error code 1
 
Help!
