Warner Losh bd79cf400b OK, you can use the 4.x boot loader and boot blocks to load kernels, but
I'm nervous about recommending it, so note it as a footnote only for now.

Warner Losh c74fe6af7f Mention the need to have COMPAT_FREEBSD4 in the kernel you use for the
upgrade.
2002-10-27 04:48:31 +00:00
Warner Losh b705ae1084 Note the scary messages that you see when mounting / and other things
are expected and normal when you've booted a 5.0 kernel with a 4.x
userland.

Warner Losh f643de42bb State the stupidly obvious:
If /tmp is on /, then blowing away its contents, as appropriate,
	may get you enough space to do the installworld.
2002-10-26 22:55:43 +00:00
Warner Losh 5c195f592b Note: 5.0 requires more space. If you don't have 30MB free on /, then
you are going to get hurt badly if you try to do an update from
sources.  Make a note of this.  While 'experts' could install it in
less space, I think 30MB is a good number.
2002-10-26 22:50:31 +00:00
Warner Losh 63cb445e51 A simple make world is too dangerous for most upgrades. Instead, copy
the updating from stable section, and remove the kludge-o-rounds that
are in there.

Sometimes make world is safe, sometimes not.  Let's document the safe
way to deal.
2002-10-26 06:25:11 +00:00
Warner Losh fc8c157fad Note GEOM removal of the compatibility slice, and what you, the
upgrader needs to do about it.

Also, greatly expand the the upgrading from -stable part of this file.
It appears that you need new boot blocks to ensure that the right
kernel is booted single user.

Warner Losh a24eff5315 Add note about avoiding -j when following the upgrade path. It isn't
strictly verboten, just a recommendation to avoid problems.
Add note about LINT being built from NOTES.
2000-09-04 03:18:01 +00:00
Warner Losh 9c1a744422 Expand information about device.hints. Add information in the

rule.

Partially suggested by: obrien
2000-08-29 06:35:46 +00:00

  to those upgrading.

2000-08-10 23:16:32 +00:00
Warner Losh ba01eb206c o Move to recommending the {build,install}kernel targets for updating from
older versions of FreeBSD.
o Continue to document the old way of doing it with a warning stating if that
  doesn't work, to do the {build,install}kernel thing.
o minor wordsmithing on what a make world really is.
2000-08-10 05:14:31 +00:00
Warner Losh 134d2e86de Add a reminder note to people to disable third party modules at the
right place in the upgrade proceedure so that they don't get burned by
a crash on reboot.

4.x version stuff.
2000-08-06 22:16:34 +00:00

Warner Losh f54a3542ef alex@big.endian.de (Alexander Langer) noticed that I point at LINT,
which no longer exists.  Updating the entry accordingly.
2000-07-19 18:35:05 +00:00
Warner Losh 409e887c85 Take jdp's excellent message to -current about the internat crypto
files and put it in my freebsd web area.  Rewrite the entry in
UPDATING to point to it the message and hopefully not confuse people
like the old one did.
2000-07-16 06:00:40 +00:00
Warner Losh 673d13f2db Two entries:
o Mark M has updated the random device to harvest entropy.  Put
	  instructions to tell people how to cope.
	o add entry about phk's malloc changes.
2000-07-13 05:35:31 +00:00
Warner Losh 2f961bc842 Add warning about needing to set SYSDIR to build new kernels after
July 4th due to the new sys/modules/sound/drivers/* being added to the

my bsd.kmod.mk change.

Warner Losh 27dc3a2b96 Note des' libfetch/fetch changes.
Clarify requirements for dev random, et al, from markm's commit.

Initial diffs for the latter by: archie
2000-06-30 17:19:07 +00:00
Warner Losh b8c215accd Added a dire sounding note about how crypto is required to build the
system.  Well, not really required if you know what you are doing, but
there's enough people that don't fit into this class that are getting
burned now that we need to say it is required.  The actual message
says that one should treat it as if it was required to try to be
weasilly for the nitpickers amoung us :-)Killed by signal 2.
2000-06-29 00:34:54 +00:00
Warner Losh 7b9907197a Add warning about /dev/random disconnecting entropy for a few days while

Warner Losh 39943833e9 bde says we don't need to note in passing the locore stuff.
Scott Flatman <sf@arcanet.com> sent in a step by step buide to updating
the config file.  since he was first, he gets his name in lights :-)
2000-06-22 02:23:52 +00:00
Warner Losh d4c3159a33 Missed one:
Per grog's suggestion, mention bde's symbol change to the kernel.  It
likely isn't a big deal, but should be noted in passing.
2000-06-21 07:09:22 +00:00
Warner Losh 290f9ad8cf I felt guilty:
o add note about binutils 2.10 fixing the problems noted on 20000522.
	o Add some very brief text to the '612 entry on the config changes.
	  A better howto would be warmly added to the file.

2000-05-16 07:48:18 +00:00
Warner Losh 2b8dd5f402 o Make note of brandelf change (obrien)
o Make the ata warning less dire based on more experience.  It seems that marginal
  disks cause more problems than that chipset singled out. (sos)
2000-05-04 08:02:11 +00:00
Warner Losh 8d9f1945b9 Add information about the dangarous apollo MPV3 chipset. Several
people have suggested the workaround to me (use only PIO mode) and
I've not seend a message saying ths was fixed.  I'll removed the bold
warning stars after the issue is corrected.
2000-04-04 17:14:18 +00:00
Warner Losh 6d23c3828e Normally I don't put entries that should have been made months ago
into UPDATING.  However, in this case I'm making an exception.  I'm
adding a recommendation that people update their boot blocks.  Old
boot blocks will cause a system to become unbootable if you have
removed /dev/{,r}wd*.

Warner Losh f8ab1dd6f0 Add entry about the isa/pci shim issue. 2000-03-23 05:57:10 +00:00
Warner Losh 19cada7779 Massive gut. We're not into 5.0 so remove all 4.x entries from this
file and start over.

Also note that we're in the traditional whack-a-ball kernel model/api
reorg for 5.0 and that one needs to be extra careful about making sure
models and kernels are in sync.
2000-03-21 19:19:47 +00:00
Warner Losh ba228352bb Add blurb about perl modules needing recompiling. 2000-03-09 07:34:46 +00:00

2000-02-02 05:35:31 +00:00
Warner Losh dc0dbf5c9e Add a section at the end called COMMON ITEMS. This is where we'll put
those questions that come up all the time (eg, how do I build a
kernel).  This is intended to be a very brief reminder for people that
are basically clueful what the steps are to do these common things.
What it lacks in verbosity it makes up in terseness.
2000-01-30 23:15:21 +00:00
Warner Losh 37990f36bd Add info about burncd, c++ changes, the xinstall kludge as well as
correct the buidlworld typo every keeps teasing me about.

I didn't ask Jordan if this was OK, but figured it fell under the
documentation exception in his freeze mail.
