Hi there,
(Please CC me as I am not currently subscribed with this address.)
Currently I have RELEASE_7 installed on one slice, and have copied
the file structure from there to a different slice which currently
contains the RELEASE_8 source ...
(Actual partition names may be different as I type them from
memory.)
ad4s2a / base RELEASE_7 install /{,boot,root,usr} etc.
ad4s3a /current contains copy of / & RELEASE_8 source
ad4s4a /misc will contain what would have gone in
/{usr/ports,usr/local,home}
... swap partition is on ad4s2.
While running RELEASE_7 system, I want to install RELEASE_8 such that
it puts/overwrites the files in /current. How do I go about that
without affecting / with RELEASE_7 installation?
