How do I dual boot -current and -stable from different slices on the
same IDE disk? (and linux too.)
When I tell lilo to boot "hde3", I get the -stable boot2 and
/boot/loader from "hde2" (ad4s2a). I can then monkey around setting
currdev and hints and unloading the -stable kernel & then boot
-current, but I'd like to just pop right into -current on ad4s3a if I
choose it.
Is there a magic bullet? I'd like to continue using lilo so that I
can choose what OS to load via a serial console..
Thanks,
Drew
