>Release: 2.1.6 FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386
>Environment:
Dell Pentium on university network
>Description:
Upon your suggestions, I tried /stand/sysinstall (the upgrade option).
By the way, this should be called update, not upgrade.
I tried both the menu system and I tried the following command to start it:
/stand/sysinstall nfs=wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive/systems/unix/FreeBSD\
releaseName=2.2.1-RELEASE distSetDeveloper installUpgrade mediaSetNFS
RESULT:
After the /etc saving screen, it says
Unable to backup your /etc into ^T. (or other unprintable chars)
This happened many times, no matter what directory I specified for
saving /etc
After the program ignores the command 'mediaSetNFS' and I choose NFS
for the medium, it crashes with:
Error mounting wuarchive.(...) on /dist: No such file or directory (2)
I went back and created the directory /dist with no good result on
many retries.
I am able to mount said wuarchive directory (with FreeBSD files) just
fine outside of the /stand/sysinstall program. You can, too.
Please respond with a list of commands that would accomplish the update.
I suppose I should backup and save /etc/fstab and /etc/master.passwd.
Then, I suppose I should cd to certain subdirectories in 2.2.1-RELEASE
and say ' sh install.sh'
Which items should I be sure to specify in src?
What other directories should I go to and what options to specify, if their
install.sh asks for options?
Maybe bin and src are all I need?
Then what?
Here is my guess: [Perhaps you can just make notes on this to help me, Please?]
cd 2.2.1-RELEASE
cd src
sh install.sh bin lib libexec lkm sys sbin usbin
cd ..
cd bin
sh install.sh
[go back to my computer and build a fresh new MYKERNEL:]
cd /sys/i386/conf
vi MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
make depend
make
make install
