This has worked on every other machine I have upgraded from 11 to 12, which is why I didnt think of that, but then all the motherboards are slightly different. > Is there a reason that a standalone boot is not possible? Sort of - I am on a serial console to do this, which works in the BIOS, and works after the kernel has started booting, but does not work in the loader for some reason, so I can't select single user. So I go to single user by booting multi user and the shutting down. Of course I could use nextboot, so its just lazyness on my part actually. Thanks for pointing this out, I immediately jumped to the CARP conclusion due to last weeks experiences on the other machine, but actually this is far more likely to be the issue. -pete. PS: apparently I have been playing fast and loose with this - and bothering the mailing list about it - since 2005... :-) http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/upgrading-5-4-gt-6-0-without-reinstalling-safe-td3932902.html Time to change my ways I think!
