Edit my supfile and make the "RELENG_2_2" tag to "RELENG_3" 2. Grab the new 3.0-STABLE sources with cvsup 3. Read the "UPDATING" file in /usr/src after cvsup-ing the new sources to see if I am missing any steps 4. Do "make aout-to-elf" to upgrade userland from aout to ELF 5. Create a new kernel config file for my 3.0-STABLE system based the new 3.0 GENERIC and/or LINT configuration files since so many changes have occured which will make my 2.2.8 kernel configuration obsolete (I'm thinking of the CAM changes and console changes in particular, and I intend to switch from IPFIREWALL to IPFILTER in my kernel) 6. Since my system uses SCSI drives (/dev/sd0s1a, etc.), edit /etc/fstab and change all references to "sdX..." to "daX..." then do a MAKEDEV of the appropriate daX devices -- is this necessary? I'm just guessing here... 7. Rebuild a new 3.0 kernel -- Does this build the ELF kernel, or will I need to rebuild again after rebooting? 8. Follow the instructions for installing the new ELF boot blocks found at 9 REBOOT What did I miss? Am I overdoing anything (do I have any unnecessary steps)? Any errors with this plan?
