        The best approach is probably to download the most recent
        binary snapshot first to use as a base - there have been many
        changes since 1.2 and this will make it simpler to get to
        -current.
        You should then backup make and config, rebuild them from the
        latest source, customise a kernel config file, compile & boot
        it. 'ps' & friends will not function until you recompile the
        userland ('cd /usr/src ; make build'), but the system should work
        fine to complete the aforementioned compile.

        You probably need to ensure you have recompiled 'config'/
