[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I'm fairly new to freeBSD and I'm currently running a system with freeBSD 4.1 - RELEASE. I would like to upgrade to freeBSD 4.2 - RELEASE but I would also like to keep my old 4.1 kernel around. Is it possible to use the kernel boot loader to run different kernel versions like this? Or is the kernel boot loader just for loading kernels built with different options and not versions? Thnx, Matt Koivisto [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server version 5.5.2654.19"> <TITLE>Multiple kernels</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi, I'm fairly new to freeBSD and I'm currently running a system with freeBSD 4.1 - RELEASE.
