Normally, a boot.flp of about the same time will work fine. You just need to go into the Options and change the release name string. The 1/6/99 boot.flp is broken. /boot/* can't be found. This means you can't do a fresh install (well, maybe in dangeriously dedicated mode -- I didn't try that) because the boot blocks can't be found by sysinstall. I was able to install the 1/6/99 SNAP by 1st installing a minimal 3.0-R and then doing an upgrade using the 1/6/99 boot.flp. This will leave you with an a.out kernel. You will need to install new boot blocks before you make your first 1/6/99 kernel. -- -- David (obr...@nuxi.com -or- obr...@freebsd.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
