I received some justified heat from some subscribers. However, Mike Smith came through with a calm, thoughtful reply, so, I consulted with John Barley-Corn and here I am. I am sorry for any noise I caused. I have a -current system that just completed an aout 'make world' from sources of about 19990102 1400 PST. I am in the midst of updating the bootblocks. I have two SCSI disks, da0 is WINNT and da1 is -current. I am currently using OS-BS. I am reading in the archives, attempting to upgrade. So far, I have backed-up and made new boot and fixit floppies. I found in the archives: cp /usr/mdec/boot? /boot echo '/boot/loader' > /boot.config disklabel -B bootdevices Also a reference to make in /sys/boot. Will 'make && make install' in /sys/boot do all that is needed? After I figure out the bootblocks, I will try aout-to-elf-build, then aout-to-elf-install, followed with building an elf kernel. Any pointers to doc's on upgrade the bootblocks? tomdean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
