I have a system with a 27gig IBM EIDE, and when I set up the system, I only made 2 partitions, / and swapspace. The system has been working just fine, till I did a "make world" and installed a new kernel. Now when I boot, I get errors like this: >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:wd(0,a)/kernel boot: Disk error 0x1 (lba=0xc21e2f) Invalid format I am assuming I am getting this because I made the drive "dangerously dedicated". Is there any way to install my new kernel in such a way that it is loadable? Also, if I want to specify an alternate kernel to boot from on startup, would I make an entry like this in /boot/loader.conf: boot /kernel.old;/kernel.different The loader(8) manpage is kinda vague.
