FWIW, I moved some (the last, I think; yay!) 4.x boxes up to 6.x last weekend. I did NOT install a new bootloader before booting the 5.x kernel, but I DID have a serial console available to manually point it at the new location for that boot (the installworld after that put the new loader in place so I didn't have to do it manually after that). That was enough. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
