I have a remote machine running 4.8-p21. The system has two disks in it, but only one is used on a daily basis (the other is filled via dd every now and then). I want to get this remote machine running 6.2, so I figured I'ld install the new OS on the second disk, then boot off the second disk, leaving the original first disk with all the user data on it (plus as a way to back out). When I try to use /stand/sysinstall for this it seg-faults early in the installation, but after the "Commit" step. I figure this is because the install process has changed a bit since 4.8. Is there a way to fix this and/or what is the best way to achieve my goal... which is: install 6.2 on a remote system without hammering the current system disk? Thanks, -mark
