Luk) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: problem with upgrading from 2.0.5 to 2.1 Date: 3 Jun 1996 15:04:23 -0400 Organization: Morgan Stanley & Co., New York, NY Lines: 10 Message-ID: <jingl.833827835@sait109> NNTP-Posting-Host: sait109.morgan.com Summary: upgrading from 2.0.5 to 2.1 Keywords: upgrade X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #6 (NOV) May someone point out if this is feasible? I have a 2.0.5 CD-ROM and an IDE CD-ROM drive. My question is if it is possible to download the 2.1 boot.flp(since it supports IDE CD-ROM) and install/upgrade 2.1 using 2.1 boot.flp and 2.0.5 CD. I tried this combination. The installation went fine and the system detected the CD-ROM drive without any problem. But the system could not recognize the drive after I rebooted it. I would have give up this idea if it would never work. Thanks in advance. J. Luk
