Before updating, you probably would want to backup your original
|
|
|
|
|
filesystems!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The update procedure will not overwrite or remove any files not present
|
|
|
|
|
in the sets you install. If you've replaced programs present in the
|
|
|
|
|
distribution, you have to replace them again after you did the update.
|
|
|
|
|
The etc-set needs special caution. You generally don't want to install
|
|
|
|
|
this one when upgrading. It is recommended that you get a copy of this
|
|
|
|
|
set and _carefully_ upgrade your configuration files by hand.

1. Starting the upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, let's go. Insert the bootfloppy and follow the 'normal'
|
|
|
|
|
installation procedure until it asks you if you wish to install or
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade. At this time, select upgrade.
|
|
|
|
|
You will now be greeted and reminded of the fact that this is a
|
|
|
|
|
potential dangerous procedure and that you should not upgrade the
|
|
|
|
|
etc-set.

|
2. Selecting your root disk
|
|
|
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
|
When you decide to proceed, you will be prompted to enter
|
|
|
|
|
your root disk. After you've done this, it will be checked
|
|
|
|
|
automatically to make sure that the filesystem is in a sane
|
|
|
|
|
state before making any modifications. After this is done,
|
|
|
|
|
you will be asked if you want to configure your network. You
|
|
|
|
|
can skip this section on NetBSD/Atari for now.

|
3. Editing the fstab
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
|
You are now allowed to edit your fstab. Normally you don't have
|
|
|
|
|
to. Note that the upgrade-kit uses it's own copy of the fstab.
|
|
|
|
|
Whatever you do here *won't* affect your actual fstab.
|
|
|
|
|
After you are satisfied with your fstab, the upgrade-kit will check
|
|
|
|
|
all filesystems mentioned in it. When they're ok, they will be
|
|
|
|
|
mounted.

|
|
|
4. The actual upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
You will now be asked if your sets are stored on a normally
|
|
|
|
|
mounted filesystem. You should answer 'y' to this question if
|
|
|
|
|
you have the sets stored on a filesystem that was present in
|
|
|
|
|
the fstab. The actions you should take for the set extraction
|
|
|
|
|
are pretty logical (I think). You might want to read the notes
|
|
|
|
|
in section 9 (Installing the distribution sets) of the
|
|
|
|
|
installation section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Finishing up
|
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
After you have extracted the sets, the upgrade kit will proceed
|
|
|
|
|
with setting the timezone and installing the kernel and bootcode.
|
|
|
|
|
This is all exactly the same as described in the installation
|
|
|
|
|
section.
