dear list...

it seems my partitioning scheme was a little naive and having compiled a new 
kernel image it turns out to be significantly bigger than the last one and the 
two wont fit on the root partition.

i dont want to risk removing my old (working) kernel in case the new one 
doesnt boot so what do i do? is there a way of booting from a different 
partition? is it arch specific (this is a sun classic). do i have to 
repartition and reinstall?

cheer
