Sure, but I'd need a bit of instruction (see, I'm -really- new to BSD, as I've just started working at a FreeBSD shop, coming from a Linux/Solaris shop, and a Linux/Solaris/NT background). If you can tell me what you want me to do, I can do it. Err, wait. Whoops. A few minutes ago I dd'd the OpenBSD 3.2 miniroot to the swap disk on my Ultra 2. Then, thinking I'd done it wrong, I tried to clear the swap and rebooted. Hey, look, it booted OpenBSD!... Oliver, I'll email you the output privately (or should I send it to the list?) -j To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
