This is a common question, maybe not suitable for this maillist, but I would like to hear any ideas how to work it out. Let suppose I build new world and kernel, reboot my current box, and new kernel fails to boot (actually it hangs while detecting ata). So I should to go into load prompt and type 'boot /boot/kernel.bak/kernel', whouldn't I? Ok, I try to boot and old kernel but now it fails too (maybe because of new world?). So now I'm without any working kernel. The only way I see to solve this trouble is to compile a sutable kernel on another machine, boot with installation/recovery cd, escape to recovery shell, mount root partition and replace /boot/kernel/ with another one? Or does load prompt can offer me any builtin feature to avoid using recovery live cd (cuz i haven't neither such cd, nor another bsd box actually :) Thanks for responses.
