I did a cvsup & made a new kernel & world on August 9th but now I can't boot. This was on my second drive. When I boot, I get this menu: F1: ?? F2: FreeBSD (old, May 31st FreeBSD 6.0 CURRENT) F5: Drive 2 (newer, Aug 9th FreeBSD - CURRENT) F2 works fine. F5 _used_ to go to my other drive and boot FreeBSD just fine. I have updated along the CURRENT branch many times, so I sort of know what I am doing ;) If I edit the fstab file on Drive 1 to mount only points on Drive 2, the boot loader will load the kernel from the first drive, but then everything else works fine on Drive 2. Here are my questions: Why is the boot code on Drive 1 unable to load the kernel on Drive 2? How do I fix my computer to boot the kernel on Disk 2? (Would changing my supfile to grab RELENG_6 resolve this problem? I am trying that right now...) Rudy
