Thanks to you again for sharing, and much thanks to the developers of FreeBSD who have helped make changes in hardware configuration so painless to manage. For me the story has been about one FreeBSD i386 system, over the course of many upgrades, in use on three different boards sold by Dell, Asus, Intel. Never had need to reinstall. Chipset and CPU varied each time. Lev Lazinskiy wrote: > Hi Manish, > > Thanks for sharing!
