I would share /var between the 2 versions. There are no changes that I have seen to /var files that would effect you sharing this between any 2.x release that is not handled during boot. You may want to force building all of /var/run/dev.db by rm'ing it before the dev_mkdb as that may get confused with device numbers and slice code. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
