Greetings! How the heck are you supposed to get the right version of sysinstall if you're upgrading a remote machine? > From UPGRADE.TXT: > These notes assume that you are using the version of sysinstall supplied > with the version of FreeBSD to which you intend to upgrade. This is the method that I used, but there's *gotta* be a better way! sysinstall is on the mfsroot.flp image copy it to a floppy, using fdimage, mount the floppy, and read the mfsroot.gz file from it gzip -d it, then use vnconfig: vnconfig vn0c mfsroot mount /dev/vn0c /mnt copy sysintall: cp -p /mnt/stand/sysinstall . and unmount: umount /mnt vnconfig -u vn0c Thumbs Up!
