It is very good practice to do things in an order so that you survive no matter WHEN something bad happens. Like power supply up in flames. Good practice to ALWAYS do things that way. You survive longer. cp versus mv can be misleading, if / is much much too big and the copy sits outside where bios can reach then the system becomes unbootable. (that's why small root partition -- among others) Any differences in efficiency between cp and mv with be swamped by any time taken thinking about it. There is also /etc/boot.conf (man boot.conf) which can control a lot. bsd.rd is the somewhat limited kernel used to install/update/upgrade > > On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 22:42, x x <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is it ok to do cp bsd.rd bsd.mp, or should I do mv bsd.mp > bsd, what is the > > best way to make .mp the default boot kernel? > _______________________________________________ > Openbsd-newbies mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies > _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
