Install the 'new' bootstrap from 3.0 on both the 2.2 and 3.0 slices. See the 'disklabel' manpage; the new bootstrap lives in the files /boot/boot1 and /boot/boot2 on the 3.0 install's root filesystem. -- \\ 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-stable" in the body of the message
