Until recent this in-place upgrades were not supported. I usually did the following: - cross-buildworld/buildkernel - swapoff - newfs <your-swap-partition> mount <swap> /mnt - make installworld distribution installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt - reboot, stop boot2 and enter something like 0:ad(0,b) at boot2 prompt - mount regular filesystems under /mnt - mount -t nullfs /usr/src and /usr/obj - cd /usr/src - make installkernel installworld DESTDIR=/mnt again [this is from memory, I may miss something] HTH Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] [ FreeBSD committer: marck_at_FreeBSD.org ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck_at_rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------Received on Thu Nov 08 2007 - 17:30:18 UTC
