If you remember to copy it manually from the holoconsole before rebooting, you should be able to do a full install with sysinstall. (I can't be 100% sure about this; there was a problem with the GENERIC kernel that got installed back at the 3.0-RELEASE level that may not be fixed yet.) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
