Hi, Does anyone have or is busy with an app that one can load in the redboot flash, that will load the kernel from the active partition of a compact flash? I know one can load the kernel in the redboot flash, but that makes remote upgrading more difficult. The way I have done with our wrap and soekris boards, is to create 2 slices on the CF. When upgrading, you just format and install on the non-active slice, change the active bit and reboot. John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@meraka.csir.co.za / jhay@FreeBSD.org
