If /boot/boot1 or /boot/boot2 change, you'll need to do a disklabel -B $DISK_OR_SLICE if you want to update the bootblocks you're actually using. The /boot/boot[12] files themselves aren't executed: they're just data for disklabel, which creates hidden boot *blocks* at the start of the disk/slice. Apart from boot1/boot2 (and boot0, which is another special case), the other sys/boot code just needs a "make installworld", or equivalent. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
