I have a machine running 2.2.8 which I want to upgrade to 4.3-RELEASE (en route to RELENG_4_3). However, I would rather not take the machine down for the couple of hours normally necessary for an installation. I have a spare hard disk in the machine; is it possible to do a network install of 4.3 to this other disk, without taking the machine down? If so, I could then simply reboot to that disk. If this is possible, how do I achieve it? Nick B To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
