Hi, I have fbsd 4.7 installed on a hdd in a dev machine which I want to transfer to and from another machine. However the current machine is a K6-2 CPU and the target machine is an AMD Athlon 1900+ - a generic kernel will not work when I transfer the hdd between machines. I've just built a new kernel that will work in the Athlon and the kernel that works ok in the K6 machine is now called /kernel.old. How can I make sure I don't accidentally overwrite /kernel.old (ie when I rebuild the kernel again)? Ideally I'd like to rename kernel.old to something like kernel.k6, but would I have to rename the /modules.old dir too? Thanks in advance, Jez To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
