The thing I made that might have been wrong was that I use /stand/sysinstall from 4.1 to install 4.1.1. I read somewhere that if you are going to do an upgrade, you must first install the new sysinstall. Any how I had the kernel sources in place, managed to boot from floppies and wanted to rebuild the bootloader, but it would not build, I dont know how to do it. I reupgraded 4.1.1 again and this time it worked. I did a net install I can not see that I got any i386 binaries. /Anders Franzen > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
