This post hasn't appeared on the list after almost 24 hours so I'm re-posting. Apologies if it appears twice. It seems that about 50% of the posts I make to the lists (-questions and -ports) never show up. Matthew Seaman wrote: > > I've been doing a bunch of 6.x -> 7.0 upgrades recently.

I vaguely recall from way back there being issues with dual-booting multiple versions of FreeBSD. Maybe that was when trying to install both in the same slice? Mine will be installed on separate hard disks. The only thing I could think may possibly be an issue is the FreeBSD Boot Manager. The current setup uses the FBSD BM to boot FBSD and Ubuntu on separate disks - it's the Ubuntu disk that I will be zapping to install 7 - is there anything to watch out for (apart from the obvious stupidity of selecting the wrong disk to newfs ;-) ) Regards, Mark
