Whatever you can do. We suck right now. I don't know whether this is useful info or not, but the -stable from Oct. 31 which is installed on my hard drive boots fine using -current's loader. "Huh?" OK, I have a dual boot setup with -current on da0a and -stable on da0f. So when I boot, -current's loader always gets control. Then I can make it boot -stable like this: unload set currdev=disk0f boot /kernel That works reliably. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
