Hi, When I installed FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (freebsd-update) the adX devices changed index number and the machine obviously didnt boot. Due to this I hesitate to install 8.1 on my servers remote. How do I know if and to what the devices will change? -- Peter Ankerst?l peter@pean.org http://www.pean.org/
