Just dId the same today (cautiously) quite cleanly. (Starting from 3.4R) # cd /usr/src # make buildworld <BLAH BLAH BLAH> # cd /usr/src/sbin/mknod # make install <BLAH BLAH BLAH> # cd /usr/src/sys/modules # make install <BLAH BLAH BLAH> # cd /usr/src (Having edited my kernel config file "QUARTZ" while waiting for buildworld to finish) # make buildkernel KERNEL=QUARTZ <BLAH BLAH BLAH> # make installkernel KERNEL=QUARTZ <BLAH> # cp /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV /dev # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV ad0 (in my case) # ./MAKEDEV ad0s2a (again in my case) # vi /etc/fstab (change wd* to ad* entries) # shutdown -r now Rebooting and interupting the reboot ok set boot_single ok unload ok load /QUARTZ ok boot (I must admit I held my breath) After booting and manually mounting the slices ... # cd /usr/src # make -DNOINFO installworld <BLAH BLAH BLAH> # make installworld <BLAH BLAH BLAH> # mergemaster -cv -t /usr/tmp/root-20000424 <BLAH BLAH BLAH> # shutdown -r now After fixing a couple of other things like snd devices and ethernet devices it was a lot less tramatic than I was made to believe. -- Regards, Kevin G.
