I finally managed to backup my system using a 2.1.7 kernel (I think 2.0.0 (well the one on my system) didn't support sync negotiation or something like that). Anyways, anyone have any advice as to the easiest way to upgrade from 2.0.0 to 2.2.1 ? I don't mind repartitioning the disks (I have two) but I don't want to change the slices (there are dos partitions). Will FreeBSD install option do this for me if I order the cdrom? Is there anything I should be concerened about ? On a side note what is the easiest way to put a freebsd filesystem on a floppy (while in single user mode I wanted a writeable /tmp so I ended up using a msdos formated floppy (mount_msdos) since I couldn't figure out how to mount a unix one). As you can tell I don't know beans about what I'm doing. Thanks, Alan
