I would also use a src build as that will definitely work.>> eg>> beadmn create -e old_root new_root> beadmn mount new_root /mnt> export DESTDIR=/mnt> cd /usr/src> make -j 12 buildworld &&> make -j 12 buildkernel &&> make installworld && > make installkernel &&> mergemaster &&> beadmn umount new_root &&> beadmn activate new_root >> later on init 6Thanks - I get the idea of boot environments, however, the beadm package appears to be non-existant before 9.0 and this is an 8.2 system.I wonder if the 9.0 .tbz might work here? Also - I'm not sure what 'init 6' is.Thanks again.
