I think that the Lite2 Merge has got to a stage where it is stable enough for testing. The kernel boots (and shuts down!) cleanly and most of the filesystems except msdosfs and devfs are converted to the new regime. I have seen it panic a couple of times but it is good enough to run xemacs and a kernel compile. I just added some code to make it easier to move from a -current system to a lite2 system - add COMPAT_PRELITE2 to your kernel config. This is pretty minimal compatibility - just enough to get -current's getvfsent() and mount_nfs to work. In particular, fsck on a dirty root filesystem seems to fail to remount the filesystem, causing annoying double-reboots after a panic. Two major work items need to be completed before this code can go into -current: make a LINT kernel compile with no warnings and complete a 'make world'. -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.
