Remick" Subject: 2.2.8 -> 3.2, have System Commander already Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ok, before I trash things, I just want to toss this out: I have a 2.2.8 system. I want to upgrade to 3.2. I've made my boot disks with kern and mfsroot. Thing is, the 2.2.8 is on a system with 2 hard drives running System Commander. Working great... I just want to keep it that way! What's the sure way to perform the upgrade without mucking things up? SC will let me boot to floppy, so that's not a problem... I'm thinking I can just tell the FreeBSD upgrade to not touch my existing boot manager (right?)... what kinds of questions is it going to ask about where to do its thing? How should I answer them? Call me paranoid (I'm sure it's going to be fine), but I REALLY can't be rendering this system non-bootable for my other partitions for any length of time. So I just want to make sure. And I'm sure there are other 2.2.8 -> 3.2 issues I should know of, so feel free to throw them at me too. Thanks in advance. ----------------------- Scott I.
