It doesn't, as I believe I've already mentioned to you in a previous message. The loader reads /boot/boot.conf, which is a totally different animal. /boot.config is only required if you have not upgraded the bootblocks; it should *not* be generally used. > 2) after the bootloader continues to load I get a warning that my > kernel's symbol table doesn't match.

The world build installs a new loader, but it does not replace the bootblocks. You have to do that by hand (disklabel -B). -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
