Hi, I want to upgrade from 3.4 to 4.0. After reading the 'UPRADE.TXT' I created the floppy images kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. Booting from them, taking the upgrade option in /stand/sysinstall and setting the filesystems with no 'newfs flag'. But that's all. I could not backup my /etc, no /usr/tmp/etc could be found. Other filesystems, same result. Problems with finding the cd-rom drive, .... I don't want to install from scratch because with earlier upgrades I had always problems. I've made a backup and did new installations. But this time I want for the first time a real upgrade. Could anyone give me some hints what best to do without destroying my 3.4-RELEASE? Is it possible to upgrade only /stand/sysinstall and proceed in another way or what is the best method? How could I use sysinstall? I've found nothing on the site, only people having the same problems but no answers. And always the hint to choose the sysinstall version from the release I want to have. Any help is welcome.
