One of the changes from 4.X to 5.X is that the kernel no longer lives in /kernel, but has been moved to /boot/kernel/kernel (with the modules living under the same directory too, /boot/kernel). In order to boot into the new kernel, you have to interrupt the loader at the "Press ENTER to boot or any other key ..." prompt, and type the following at the OK loader prompt: OK unload OK load /boot/kernel/kernel OK boot -s Then you will boot with the new kernel. > I'm not clear on why this is - should it show up as 4.7 until installworld > is successful?

Look in /boot/kernel too :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
