It was pretty successful. All my 8.3 packages are still running very happily, though at some point I imagine I will have to update and recompile them. But ... When I press ENTER in the boot0 screen, I get the hyphen that will start spinning after a timeout and begin loading boot1 (which, as far as I know, I have not updated). boot1 (I think) presents me with a prompt that does not respond to key presses on the keyboard. It times out and continues loading anyway. At this stage, I am always presented with a manual mountroot: prompt, and I have to type "ufs:/dev/ada0s1a" to get any further. Does this just mean I should update the boot code? Presumably "fdisk -B" won't change anything. Should I just do "bsdlabel -B"? (It's an MBR disk.) Aside from this glitch, I'm very happy with how smoothly the update went. And I wouldn't be complaining, except that I'm tired of having to type "ufs:/dev/ada0s1a" every time I boot. -- George Mitchell
