You should be able to back out fairly easily in case of most problems. When you reboot to single-user mode with the new kernel, you can test whatever you think you need to (device presence/functionality, networking, etc) before installing world. If you don't like the results, just rename or delete /boot/kernel, rename /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel, and reboot, no damage done (usually). > dmesg reveals: > > brgphy0: PHY 1 on miibus0 > > a different version of BCM, not BCM 5754 I can't speak authoritatively, but I expect you're fine.
