No, it does not work. Currently it is impossible to upgrade from 3.1 to todays current without having bootblocks and loader compiled/taken from some other todays current system. Issues from top of head gcc!=egcc - bootblocks and loader cannot be compilied. Loader v0.6 cannot load current kernel. Only alternative to get these from outside is to upgrade graduall.. but who knows which intermediate source repository dates are good for it? best regard, taavi ----------------------------------------------------------- Taavi Talvik | Internet: taavi@uninet.ee Unineti Andmeside AS | phone: +372 6405150 Ravala pst. 10 | fax: +372 6405151 Tallinn 10143, Estonia | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
