I copied the 2.2.2-RELEASE package from ftp.freebsd.org and want to fake an install by directly unpacking the archives on a spare disk I have available. I modified the install.sh files so I could point the bits to the mount point of the spare disk. Are there any preinstall or post-install requirements that the installation normally performs that I might have bypassed? I'm currently running FreeBSD V2.1 without a boot manager, and configured to always boot the 2.1 system disk. How can I boot the alternate disk? BTW, this ain't no DOS shared system...FreeBSD only. I've been unable to boot the 2.2.2 disk thus-far. But come on...where there's a will, there's a way. (isn't there?) Jon --
