Theo, When I mentioned sysupgrade I was referring to the full sysupgrade procedure all the way through to completion. Sorry for not being specific enough. Thank you, you brought focus to boot which is really where my suggestion will be focused on. So, how can I explicitly tell boot to act normally to boot /bsd.upgrade and if that doesn't exist then boot /bsd? I would expect # echo boot > /etc/boot.conf to do just that. -alfred
