There is no upgrade program for NetBSD/vax; you will have to
|
|
upgrade your system by hand. Here are some hints about
|
|
how to do it:
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
First replace the kernel, /boot and the boot blocks
|
|
with new ones. The boot system has changed since 1.2.
|
|
.It
|
|
Reboot the system so you are running with the new kernel.
|
|
.It
|
|
Untar the wanted distributions. Remember to use the
|
|
.Cm --unlink
|
|
flag to
|
|
.Xr tar 1 ,
|
|
otherwise you will run into trouble.
|
|
.It
|
|
Reboot the system once again.
|
|
.It
|
|
Now you will (hopefully) be up and running in the new world.
|
|

|
|
.(Note
|
|
.No You Em should not No extract the
|
|
.Sy etc
|
|
set if upgrading. Instead, you should extract that set into another
|
|
area and carefully merge the changes by hand.
