>Organization:
KOGANEMARU Computer Engineering Service Corporation.
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD kcesx34.koganemaru.co.jp 6.2-RC1 FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 #0: Thu Nov 16 05:12:08 UTC 2006 root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386
>Description:
The kernel of old FreeBSD was /kernel, and it was possible to move with
"mv /kernel /kernel.prev".
It was overwrited if /kernel.prev existed.
Currently, /boot/kernel.prev is a directory, and when already
/boot/kernel.prev exists, it becomes an error in
"mv /boot/kernel /boot/kernel.prev".
It is necessary to remove "/boot/kernel.prev" before it moves.
>How-To-Repeat:
When /boot/kernel.prev exit,
do upgrade install.
>Fix:
I not tested, but perhaps ok.
