Hi,

I have fbsd 4.7 installed on a hdd in a dev machine which I want to transfer
to and from another machine.  However the current machine is a K6-2 CPU and the target
machine is an AMD Athlon 1900+ - a generic kernel will not work
when I transfer the hdd between machines.

I've just built a new kernel that will work in the Athlon and the kernel
that works ok in the K6 machine is now called /kernel.old.

How can I make sure I don't accidentally overwrite /kernel.old (ie when
I rebuild the kernel again)?  Ideally I'd like to rename kernel.old to
something like kernel.k6, but would I have to rename the /modules.old
dir too?

Thanks in advance,

Jez
