How do build -current on 4.7p3 away from my RELENG_4_7 > source, then install to a seperate, pre-partitioned slice? I haven't tried it, but perhaps you could cvs co/cvsup the -current tree to, say, /usr/current, then use the DESTDIR knob to installworld/installkernel to your target mount. See jail(8) for more ideas, including how to initialise /etc. If it doesn't work, file a PR :) > Is it ok to create the filesystems with 4.7p3's newfs? I don't see why not. 5.0 will happily mount a UFS partition created by 4.X. Joshua To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
