I have a particular remote system (located in eastern Europe, actually) that I'm in the process of upgrading, and I'd appreciate it very much if someone could assure me that the new boot loader arrangement will not keep my the system from coming back up once I reboot. The system is running 3.0-Current, built around mid-December. I've just now cvsup'ed down the latest -STABLE code and its happily buildworld'ing. I have the text "/boot/loader" in the file /boot.config . After I installworld and reboot, should the new boot loader be happy? I tend to be optimistic about these things... if I'm not too reckless upgrades usually go like clockwork for me. But in this case... with the system being on another continent, I'm trying to be a wee bit more careful.
