Not neccessarily necessary. :-) Just try typing: /boot/loader at the boot: prompt of your existing bootblocks. All things being equal, it should work. If it does, and your bootblocks are new enough to know about /boot.config, you can tell the bootblocks to load the /boot/loader ``kernel'' instead. :-) Apparently, the older 2.1 and maybe 2.2.[12] bootblocks don't like the /boot/loader for some reason - I'd like to know why so this can be fixed. Any ideas anyone? :-) When you get to the loader, you have a command prompt. You can do things like this: boot /kernel # load and start /kernel boot /kernel.old -s # load /kernel.old and start it in single user load kernel # load /kernel load vinum # then load /modules/vinum.ko boot -s # then start in single user.
