Hello, I have a 486 server running 4.1.1-RELEASE without a floppy drive and with a ccd drive. I wish to upgrade this to 4.3-RELEASE. The problem is it has no floppy, so the boot floppies don't work. And it has a ccd drive which doesn't work with the GENERIC kernel. But I have a workstation with 4.3-RELEASE on it. I have the following plan: Build and install a 4.3 kernel for the 486 and copy a 4.3 /stand/sysinstall on it and than reboot the 486. Will this work? Are there any points I'm missing? Should I use the (changed) kernel config option from LINT: INIT_PATH="/stand/sysinstall" Does anybody has experience with this? Also in combination with the ccd filesystem.
