Safe to 'make installkernel' in multi-user mode?
Just making sure I'm not brewing a disaster... Is it 'safe' to install a kernel (i.e. 'make installkernel') on a system while in multi-user mode?

It's the best and prefered way. Dropping to single user for installkernel has very little advantages, the running kernel doesn't change, only the on-disk version and if something goes wrong, you have full tools available to track the problem down. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
