From: Yasuhiro Kimura <yasu@FreeBSD.org> Subject: Questions about pkgbase Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2025 18:01:21 +0900 (JST) > As is explained in announsement from Colin, pkgbase has become the > default of install media. So I start playing with pkgbase and have some > questions. Would someone please answer me them? I have another question. If we update kernel with `make installkernel`, then previous kernel and modules are backuped under /boot/kernel.old. And we can select old kernel from boot menu. So if system fails to boot with panic, we can still boot from old kernel and can investigate and/or recover from crash. On the other hand, it doesn't seem previous kernel and modules are backuped if we upgraded them with `pkg upgrade`. Then what should we do if system fails to boot with new kernel? Do we have to create boot media and boot from it? Assuming that we have no choise but to do so, how should we restore the system? Is it possible to roll back pkgbase system to previous version? --- Yasuhiro Kimurahome | help
