For years, I've run a : make buildworld, installworld, cd /sys/i386/conf config, build and install a : kernel, then reboot. All through telnet or ssh. I've never had problems in : the past, and all goes well. Is there a better way to do this on a machine : that you can't get to the console? drive to the location of the machine. Your method will often fail for major releases. I know that I had to walk over to the console of my 3.x machine to reboot in 4.x single user so I could do the upgrade. The 4.x binaries wouldn't run on the 3.x kernel due to the signal changes. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
