The upgrade to
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
is a binary upgrade; it can be quite difficult
|
|
to advance to a later version by recompiling from source due primarily
|
|
to interdependencies in the various components.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To do the upgrade, you must have the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel on AmigaDOS and
|
|
you must transfer the miniroot file system miniroot.fs onto the swap
|
|
partition of the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
hard disk. You must also have at least the
|
|
"base" binary distribution set available, so that you can upgrade
|
|
with it, using one of the upgrade methods described above. Finally,
|
|
you must have sufficient disk space available to install the new
|
|
binaries. Since the old binaries are being overwritten in place,
|
|
you only need space for the new binaries, which weren't previously
|
|
on the system. If you have a few megabytes free on each of your
|
|
root and /usr partitions, you should have enough space.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since upgrading involves replacing the kernel, and most of the system
|
|
binaries, it has the potential to cause data loss. You are strongly
|
|
advised to BACK UP ANY IMPORTANT DATA ON YOUR DISK, whether on the
|
|
NetBSD partition or on another operating system's partition, before
|
|
beginning the upgrade process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To upgrade your system, follow the following instructions:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Transfer the miniroot file system onto the hard disk partition
|
|
used by
|
|
.Nx
|
|
for swapping, as described in the "Preparing
|
|
your System for
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Installation" section above.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Now boot up
|
|
.Nx
|
|
using the \*V kernel using the loadbsd
|
|
command:
|
|
.Dl loadbsd -b netbsd
|
|
If you machine has a split memory space, like, e.g., DraCo
|
|
machines, use this instead:
|
|
.Dl loadbsd -bn2 netbsd
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have a M680x0 + PPC board, make sure the PPC cpu is inactive
|
|
before using loadbsd, else the kernel will hang!
|
|
.Ss2 Directly\ booting\ NetBSD,\ with\ boot\ blocks\ installed:
|
|
.(tag Note:
|
|
This description is for V40 (OS 3.1) ROMs. For older ROMs,
|
|
there might be small differences. Check your AmigaOS documentation
|
|
to learn about the exact procedure.
|
|
Booting using bootblocks doesn't work at all on some systems, and may
|
|
require a mountable filesystem on others.
|
|
.tag)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Reboot your machine, holding down both mouse buttons if you
|
|
have a 2-button mouse, the outer mouse buttons if you have
|
|
a 3-button mouse. On the DraCo, press the left mouse button
|
|
instead, when the boot screen prompts you for it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
From the boot menu, select
|
|
.Ic Boot Options .
|
|
Select the swap partition with the miniroot, and then
|
|
.Ic ok . No Select
|
|
.Ic Boot No now .
|
|
The machine will boot the bootblock, which
|
|
will prompt your for a command line. You have a few seconds time
|
|
to change the default. Entering an empty line will accept the
|
|
default.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The bootblock uses command lines of the form:
|
|
.Ar \ \ \ \ file Op Ar options
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is the kernel file name on the partition where the
|
|
boot block is on, and
|
|
.Ar options
|
|
are the same as with loadbsd.
|
|
E.g., instead of
|
|
.Dl loadbsd -bsSn2 netbsd
|
|
use
|
|
.Dl "netbsd -bsSn2
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss2 Once\ your\ kernel\ boots:
|
|
.
|
|
You should see the screen clear and some information about
|
|
your system as the kernel configures the hardware. Note which
|
|
hard disk device is configured that contains your root and
|
|
swap partition. When prompted for the root device, type
|
|
.Ic sd0b
|
|
(replacing
|
|
.Ic 0
|
|
with the disk number that
|
|
.Nx
|
|
used for
|
|
your root/swap device). When prompted for a dump device,
|
|
answer 'none' for the upgrade. (For a normal boot, you would
|
|
tell it one of the swap devices). When prompted for the root
|
|
filesystem type, confirm 'generic', which will auto-detect it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will be presented with some information about the upgrade
|
|
process and a warning message, and will be asked if you wish
|
|
to proceed with the upgrade process. If you answer
|
|
negatively, the upgrade process will stop, and your disk will
|
|
not be modified. If you answer affirmatively, the upgrade
|
|
process will begin, and your disk will be modified. You may
|
|
hit Control-C to stop the upgrade process at any time.
|
|
However, if you hit it at an inopportune moment, your system
|
|
may be left in an inconsistent (and possibly unusable) state.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Your system has now been upgraded to
|
|
.Nx \*V .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After a new kernel has been copied to your hard disk, your
|
|
machine is a complete
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
system. However, that
|
|
doesn't mean that you're finished with the upgrade process.
|
|
There are several things that you should do, or might have to
|
|
do, to insure that the system works properly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will probably want to get the etc distribution,
|
|
extract it, and compare its contents with those in your /etc
|
|
directory. You will probably want to replace some of your
|
|
system configuration files, or incorporate some of the changes
|
|
in the new versions into yours.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will want to delete old binaries that were part
|
|
of the version of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
that you upgraded from and have since
|
|
been removed from the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
distribution. If upgrading from a
|
|
.Nx
|
|
version older than 1.0, you might also want to
|
|
recompile any locally-built binaries, to take advantage of the
|
|
shared libraries. (Note that any new binaries that you build
|
|
will be dynamically linked, and therefore take advantage of
|
|
the shared libraries, by default. For information on how to
|
|
make statically linked binaries, see the cc(1) and ld(1)
|
|
manual pages.)
