There is no kernel in the boot directory on my 5.2 RC2 system. There is an boot sub-directory named kernel that contains 150 files, one of them being kernel that's around the correct size to be the GENERIC binary kernel. Are you telling me that the kernel binary is moved from an easy uncluttered location in 4.9 of / to a location 2 directory levels deep and surrounded with a bunch of clutter? What king of stupid system design decision is that? Is it possible this is an mistake? Should an problem report be make to point this error out the 5.2 release team? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Adam Bozanich Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 6:16 PM To: fbsd_user Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.

Ooh, sorry. kernel & co. are in /boot/kernel. If you want to back it up, use cd /boot ; cp -R kernel kernel.GENERIC and issue 'boot kernel.GENERIC' from the boot prompt if you want to use it later. -Adam _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
