I want to upgrade to releng_4 (4.x latest) from 3.5. I've been following this list for a while now and it just looks like it might be easier to reinstall than to jump through all the hoops of doing multiple upgrades. I have a second drive on my machine. What I want to do is load 4.x on that drive and then boot it. The machine is remote, I have access to the serial console but not the box physically, hence I can't put boot floppies in it. But I can run the 3.5 version of sysinstall. Can I use this version of sysinstall to load 4.x on my second drive? If so, what do I put in for the release name in the options editor? CUrrently it says "3.5-STABLE". If this isn't the way I should be doing this, what is? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
