Check your network setup. Is this address in the range you configured for your
interface? Check netmask and so.

Don't look at this, it's not a bug, it's a feature. It looks very bad, but
the executables run, the compiler doesn't tell you about errors, just this
relocation stuff.

I never booted from CD, but this is the correct way of an update, as long as
you save your config files before kicking your installation away.
Alternatively, you can reconfigure the whole system. But in that case, you can
do it a bit cleaner by newfs'ing the file systems before the untar procedure.
