[-- Attachment #1 --] hi all, there was a message posted to the doc mailing list a couple of weeks ago, stating that the custom kernel chapter in the handbook... ...that it did not show how to unload the kernel before reloading the backup kernel (in the troubleshooting section).... ...I am therefore submitting a patch which will fix this problem by showing the user how to unload the kernel.... file is located at: doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig/chapter.sgml Patch starts here... ------------------------------------------------------ *** chapter.sgml Tue Oct 23 23:12:36 2001 --- patch.sgml Sun Nov 18 22:48:14 2001 *************** *** 1272,1280 **** kernels. Simply choose the kernel you want to boot from at the FreeBSD boot loader. You can access this when the system counts down from 10. Hit any key except for the enter key, ! and type <command>boot ! <replaceable>kernel.old</replaceable></command>, or the ! filename of any other kernel that will boot properly. When reconfiguring a kernel, it is always a good idea to keep a kernel that is known to work on hand.</para> --- 1272,1281 ---- kernels.
