Hi! I'd like to use the new boot2 to boot a -stable kernel from the *second* FreeBSD partition. If need be I will modify it to grab the second (active) one instead of the first but what I saw today looks like it can do that already. (*) The interesting questions is if that will work at all. If so I guess /boot/loader will work in that situation, too. As I am at modifying the boot process I can then do it the 3.0 way to give a small taste of the things to come. ;-) Stefan. (*) In case it is already able to do the right thing we should modify boot(8) as soon as we use the new boot blocks as default as that man page says it will boot from the first one only. -- Stefan Eggers Lu4 yao2 zhi1 ma3 li4, Max-Slevogt-Str. 1 ri4 jiu3 jian4 ren2 xin1. 51109 Koeln Federal Republic of Germany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
