Unfortunately, the server's CD drive is not working nor does it seem to want to boot from usb. So after poking around the boot menu, I decided to boot into sata port B. Fortunately, I had the foresight a while back to setup a simple zfs array and the system booted and when I ran: sysctl -n kern.osrelease kern.ostype I got: 10.0-RELEASE-p18 The question is, if I continue with the upgrade on this disc, will it propagate to the first disk or will I cause irreparable damage?
