I have a somewhat stale dual-boot setup where I can get -stable by booting da0a or -current by booting da0f. But this means I'm using -stable's /boot/loader in both cases. It hasn't been a problem in the past, but I suppose it could be one some day. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
