Normally it is, unless you've told it to do otherwise (e.g. by specifying a different kernel in /boot.config.) You say you've left "kernel" in place, what errors do you get trying to boot that? What files are shown if you type "?" at the boot prompt? > Does anybody have any idea's what I should do? If the kernel is still on the root file system, I think you can just specify the path to it, e.g. "/foo/bar/kernel.save", at the boot prompt. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
