I'm just not sure how to make it work, that's all. Perhaps a script to suggest nescesary changes would be useful? I assume that sysinstall now puts the right entries in fstab? Also - can someone tell me what the "kernel root on..." option should be now? the GENERIC configuration still has this as wd0. Is this right? Cheers. Scot.
