Hey, Wonder if someone would clarify why I can't dual boot two different versions of fbsd located in wd0s2(2.2.2) and wd0s4(2.2.5)? Now that I installed 2.2.5, even when I use boot manager to tell to boot 2.2.2, 2.2.5 gets boot up, or with boot option of 0:wd(2,a)kernel, it goes in an infinite loop of rebooting the system. It's kind of strange, since even when I press F2 for wd0s2, the boot prompt is different than it was before. It's now as if I pressed F4 for wd0s4. When installing 2.2.5, I made sure that new fs would be mounted in wd0s4 and that upgrade option was not used. Related to this, even if I boot 2.2.5 on wd0s4, can I mount /usr fs located in wd0s2c under some name(ie /usr1) only to get the files from there? It would be soooo nice.
