I'm a long-time follower of HEAD, but I admit I don't understand the implications of your warning. If I build world+kernel now, what kind of tasks should I expect to have trouble with? To be specific, I'm running DF from an extended partition (a bit out of the ordinary) /dev/ad1s9a. Should I expect problems if I update just now? Thanks!
