Tools Wanting to boot from a previous kernel
I tried to add ppp on a serial line tty1b and I relink the kernel. Now, I would like to boot from the previous kernel because I lost the connexion for the others terminal (serial lines) too.

I would appreciate any help.

Type unix.old that would be the previous kernel. You can make a copy of a kernel and put it in the stand filesystem. You will have to change the read only attribute to do it though.
