The problem is that I want to have -current on it without changing my disk layout, booting from MBR label and having everything else on GPT slices. 8 labels per slice are not enough on that testbox! And every GPT partition holds more or less important data.... And I need current to test it, whether it is stable enough to run my webserver since I need nullfs at sensible performance, which RELENG_5 doesn't provide And if it fits my needs. this box will act as PXE installer... Hmm, it's more important than I thought.... Thanks, -Harry > follow those, *especially* when bumping major versions of FreeBSD).
