Hi all, I have some machines that need to be upgraded from FreeBSD 3.4 - I'm pretty sure I could follow the upgrade path 3.4 -> 3.5 STABLE -> 4.1.1-RELEASE -> 4.6, but I do have much better things to do with my time. What I want to know is, if I build a 4.6 kernel and world on another machine, can I NFS mount these and install the world and kernel with minimum fuss. I know there are a few things like devices changing and so on, but I'm hoping mergemaster can take care of things like that. I don't have access to the console, so I have to perform the upgrades remotely - any solution involving being at the console to boot from floppies/CD is not an option.
