Hi all, I have a laptop which I run STABLE on. I would like to be able to develop code under -CURRENT, and so would like to dual boot the machine. I have a 2 gig slice which is currently free, barring the 5.0 source. I intend to have this slice set as the only slice 5.0 accesses, so /, /var and /user will all be on the same slice. Wjhat is the best way of building world and kernel so that everything goes into /5.0 as the root partition? THen, how do I get the loader to recognise that is where the kernel lives? I realise there is a kerenl option to tell it where to mount root from, but am at a loss as to how to load the kerenl from it. Any help would be appreciated.
