Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I need to upgrade a box from FreeBSD 2.2.6 to 3.1 over ssh. For all practical purposes, the machine is inaccessible. (11 hours by airplane). Which means the upgrade *must not* lock me out of the box. I read /usr/src/UPGRADE on a 3.1 box, but am still confused. Is there a step-by-step tutorial somewhere that describes how to safely perform an OS upgrade when physical access is simply not an option? TIA, -- Lucky Green PGP v5 encrypted email preferred.
