Hi list. Merry Christmas!!
This is my first post on a Freebsd Mailing List, so don't be too harsh on me if my
ettiquette isn't acceptable.
Ok, I guess I'll get to the heart of this post:
I'm trying to figure out how to boot 5-releng-1 alongside my 4-stable slice.
After a surprisingly successful buildworld/kernel, installworld, I used
/stand/sysinstall to fdisk/disklabel the appropriate partitions. By the way, both
slices exist on the same disk.
Booting to stable was fine, however, booting to current gave me:
invalid partion
I was, however, able to get it to work, when I pointed the boot to
0:ad(2,e)/boot/loader (which is the location of my current's root partition.)
I'm happy with how my current installation went, but I may have missed a crucial step
along the way.
Any advice welcome
[edit] I was referred here from the newbies list. Go figure.
If this isn't a newb question, what is?
