Hi list. Merry Christmas!! This is my first post on a Freebsd Mailing List, so don't be too harsh = on me if my ettiquette isn't acceptable. Ok, I guess I'll get to the heart of this post: I'm trying to figure out how to boot 5-releng-1 alongside my 4-stable = slice. After a surprisingly successful buildworld/kernel, installworld, I used = /stand/sysinstall to fdisk/disklabel the appropriate partitions. By the = way, both slices exist on the same disk. Booting to stable was fine, however, booting to current gave me: invalid partion I was, however, able to get it to work, when I pointed the boot to = 0:ad(2,e)/boot/loader (which is the location of my current's root = partition.) I'm happy with how my current installation went, but I may have missed a = crucial step along the way. Any advice welcome
