What's the official way to boot an alternate kernel these days? I upgraded the kernel sources and installed the resulting kernel and *.ko in /boot/kernel.test/ I then booted, broke into the loader, and told it to load /boot/kernel.test/kernel. When doing this, I expected that the module path would get set so that /boot/kernel.test was first. Nope. It auto-loaded /boot/kernel/acpi.ko. Then there was an earth-shattering kaboom :-( Is there a way to boot an alternate kernel which sets the module path for you? Thanks, Drew FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 (gallatin@shout, Fri Apr 4 09:41:26 EST 2003) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x27010c data=0x3bb64+0x3f870 syms=[0x4+0x36560+0x4+0x422cb] Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
