It shouldn't be necessary. Once the kernel is loaded, the system never looks at /boot again. Unless, of course, you want to load a kernel module. Those are located in /boot/kernel by default, but you can change the if needed (see sysctl kern.module_path). Also, some system utilities that use KVM functions (vmstat, top, ps) might require access to the kernel file. But that can be changed, too: sysctl kern.bootfile. Other than that, the /boot directory isn't used at all during normal operation. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
