I have an old FreeBSD 2.2.8 installation at a customers site. Does somebody have any experience in upgrading such a machine to 4.0 ? Or is there a document available where these steps are documented over the different FreeBSD releases ??? I'd do the following and pray ... 1) upgrade sources to latest RELENG_2_2 build RELENG_2_2 kernel and reboot make world reboot 2) checkout FreeBSD 3.0-current sources prior FreeBSD ELF (approx May 24th, 1998) build FreeBSD-3.0-current kernel and reboot make world reboot 3) checkout sources RELENG_3_1_0_RELEASE [ Q: do I have to prepare a special kernel config file here which is used to build an ELF aware FreeBSD kernel here ??? ] make aout-to-elf-build [ interactive questions here ] make aout-to-elf-install rebuild kernel reboot * now we have a FreeBSD 3.1 ELF system * 4) checkout RELENG_3 build RELENG_3 kernel and reboot make world reboot 5) checkout RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE build RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE kernel and reboot make world reboot 6) checkout RELENG_4 build RELENG_4 kernel and reboot make world reboot -- Andreas Klemm http://people.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html powered by Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD New APSFILTER 542 and songs from our band - http://people.freebsd.org/~andreas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
