Hi. I just *tried* installing 4.1-RELEASE on a second hard drive WHILE running 4.0-STABLE on /dev/ad0. The thing is, I set the mount points the same for both drives, so the installation pretty much overwrote all the bins,srcs,etc, etc. files on /dev/ad0, thinking that those mount points were of /dev/ad2. It took a while to figure out why /etc/passwd was resetted. My question is, what will happen at the next reboot? kernel still seems to remain at 4.0-STABLE, because linux compat pkg_add(1) seemed to take some time, so I killed the installation at the time (also due to the screaming users on IRC). Should I start a new /stand/sysinstall procedure on /dev/ad0? Thanks.
