Is there any way to identify the version of a FreeBSD installation when booted to a different FreeBSD or NetBSD installation? With NetBSD, I can look under /<NetBSD-root-partition>/stand , always see i386 or amd64, but I don't see anything so good or dependable with FreeBSD. /etc/motd doesn't always show this information. uname only shows the actively running version. In my case, I use UFS and GPT, so FreeBSD and NetBSD can read each other's partitions with no disklabel incompatibilities. Tom
