Is the /boot a right version? I am not sure which set it belongs to. I have not done full install for years and if /boot is not in one of the sets I install it might be older. #ls -l /boot -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 60012 Jul 5 2013 /boot If that speculation is true, is there a safe way to upgrade just /boot to suit my installation?
