How can I verify that I have a new loader? Where is it located?
My /boot directory contains:
bob@obiwan-p3 /boot> ls -l
total 294
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Apr 4 09:59 boot0
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Apr 4 09:59 boot1
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 7680 Apr 4 09:59 boot2
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 131072 Apr 4 09:59 loader
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 11462 Mar 27 21:12 loader.help
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 131072 Mar 27 21:12 loader.old
The Apr 4 09:59 timestamp was the time of my make installworld. Is
there somewhere else that it might be picking up an older version of the
loader?
Thanks,
Bob
