Then if I have to do this in multiple steps, can I upgrade to current as it was before you changed out the bdevs-cdevs (I'll hunt down the commit) and do that in one step, get it working, then MAKEDEV and do another step taking it the rest of the way to current? I don't want to move it with no ability to fall back on an old kernel, as I step it towards current. > > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member > phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop." > FreeBSD -- It will take a long time before progress goes too far! > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C programming, Electronics, 213 Lakeside Dr. Apt.
