FWIW, a standard 4-stable system boots fine with the boot blocks (and loader) from RELENG_6. I'm running such a mixed system: /boot/* and boot blocks from RELENG_6, and everything else from RELENG_4. I think the most visible changes in the boot blocks was UFS2 support and the removal of nextboot(8) support. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
