Heh. I have gotten myself in the habit of making a copy of the kernel after first boot, calling it 'bsd.INSTALL'. Each time I build a new one (-STABLE or -CURRENT), I copy the previous one to bsd.PREV. That way, I have the last "known good" kernel, and a copy of the kernel it installed with, just in case. -- "I'd rather staple a skunk to my forehead and go to a trade show for banjo makers." -- PHB's secretary, Dilbert, 07-2002
