Message-Id: <20021228194934.5F4101883D@www.fastmail.fm> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Lets say I have 2 freebsd instances installed on a box. partition 1 contains one system, and partition 2 contains another freebsd system. Using freebsd boot loader, you need to press F1, F2 etc to select the partition to boot from. Say, I am on the system on partition one and I want to boot into partition two without any console interruption (i.e pressing F2 on the console.) Is there a way to do this? All feedback appreciated.
