The parts that require manual installation are installed just like the old ones. The remainder are installed by 'make world'. You deinstall the manually-installed parts by installing the old parts. For experimentation, just put "/boot/loader" in /boot.config. If it's not working for you, override it at the boot: prompt and then remove it when you're booted. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
