I was able to swap one of those in, leaving the current system where it was at zroot/ROOT/default. I’ve set bootfs to the older 14.1 system and gotten that running.It _started_ looking bad, doing what the newer system was doing by sending out SOLICIT6 messages and not getting an answer from my ISP. But as Karl noted, if I waited long enough (2ish hours in my case), it eventually did get an answer!
You're lucky -- KUB (my ISP) told me that their "binding" remained valid for *_three weeks_*. Needless to say that's not nice if it gets mad at you..... :-)
