> Can't you boot from the old kernel? Or have you already wiped the I can boot the old kernel. A MAKEDEV using the new MAKEDEV has now wiped all block devs, so swapon, etc. ,fail.. However, this is the conundrum- it's not safe to do a 'make installworld' on a two week old kernel, but the new kernel with old mount, fsck, etc., obviously cannot cope with the new 'raw-only' devices. An experience like this will move users to OpenBSD. This kind of jump up is completely unacceptable. > bdevs? If so, how about the fixit floppy/CD-ROM? This is alpha, and no floppy. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
