-Upgrading procedure using the
-.Ic script
-installer is much more complicated than that with
-.Ic sysinst
-installer.  When the installer comes up,
-you will be presented with a welcome message and a prompt
-asking whether you are going to
-.Ic install
-.Nx
-or
-.Ic upgrade
-an exisiting system.  Select
-.Ic upgrade
-to start.
-.Pp
-.(enum
-You will be presented with some information about the upgrade
-process and a warning message, and will be asked if you wish
-to proceed with the upgrade process.  If you answer
-negatively, the upgrade process will stop, and your disk will
-not be modified.  If you answer affirmatively, the upgrade
-process will begin, and your disk will be modified.  You may press
-.Key CONTROL-C
-to stop the upgrade process at any time.
-However, if you press it at an inopportune moment, your system
-may be left in an inconsistent (and possibly unusable) state.
-.It
-You will be asked if you wish to upgrade your file systems to
-the new file system format.  If you do, reply affirmatively.
-If you don't have your file systems upgraded now, you should
-probably do it manually after the install process is complete,
-by using
-.Ic "fsck -c 2" .
-Read the
-.Xr fsck 8
-manual page for more
-details. Note that this step is only important when upgrading
-from a pre
-.Nx 1.0
-release.
-.It
-The upgrade program will then check your root file system,
-and, if you approved, will upgrade it to the new file system
-format.  It will then mount your root file system on
-.Pa /mnt .
-.It
-If your file systems are being upgraded, the upgrade script
-will copy the new
-.Xr fsck 8
-program to your hard disk and
-upgrade your remaining file systems.
-.It
-The upgrade program will then automatically replace the boot
-blocks on your disk with newer versions, and mount all of your
-file systems under
-.pa /mnt .
-(In other words, your
-.Pa /
-(root) partition will be mounted on
-.Pa /mnt ,
-your
-.Pa /usr
-partition on
-.Pa /mnt/usr ,
-etc.)
-.It
-If you don't already have the
-.Nx
-distribution sets on your
-disk, look in the installation section for information on how
-to transfer them to your disk.
-.It
-If you don't have the disk space to copy all of the
-distribution onto the hard drive, you can
-install a kernel on the hard drive as detailed a few
-paragraphs below, then boot off the hard drive.  Now
-you can copy and install distribution sets
-incrementally from your lone floppy drive.
-.Pp
-Once the distribution sets are transferred to your disk,
-continue here.  (Obviously, if the
-.Nx
-distribution sets
-are already on your disk, because you've transferred them
-before starting the upgrade process, you don't need to
-transfer them again now!)
-.It
-After the software has been transferred to the machine (or
-mounted, in the case of upgrading via NFS or CD-ROM), change
-into the directory containing the
-.Pa base.tgz
-distribution set.
-Once you are there, run the
-.Ic Set_tmp_dir
-command, and press
-.Key return
-at the prompt to select the default answer for the
-temporary directory's path name.  (It should be the path name
-of the directory that you're in.)
-.It
-Run the command
-.Ic "Extract kern"
-to upgrade the kernel.
-.It
-Run the command
-.Ic "Extract base"
-to upgrade the base distribution.
-.It
-Repeat the above two steps for all of the sets you wish to
-upgrade.  (For each, change into the directory containing the
-set, run
-.Ic Set_tmp_dir
-and accept the default path name, then
-run the
-.Ic "Extract <setname>"
-command.)
-.It
-If you were previously using the security distribution set, you
-.Em must
-upgrade to the new version, or you will not be able
-to log in when the upgrade process is complete.  Similarly, if
-you were not previously using the security set, you must
-.Em not
-upgrade to the new version.
-.It
-When you are done upgrading all of the distribution sets you
-wish to upgrade, issue the command
-.Ic Cleanup .
-It will clean
-up the installation, by remaking some system databases.  When
-it is complete, all you have to do is to
-.Xr reboot 8
-your system.
-.enum)
-.Pp
-.Em Your system has now been upgraded to
-.Nx \*V .
-.Pp
-After a new kernel has been copied to your hard disk, your
-machine is a complete
-.Nx
-\*V system.  However, that
-doesn't mean that you're finished with the upgrade process.
-There are several things that you should do, or might have to
-do, to insure that the system works properly.
-.Pp
-First, if you did not upgrade your file systems to the new
-file system format during the upgrade process, and you are
-upgrading from a pre
-.Nx 1.0,
-you may want to do so now,
-with
-.Ic "fsck -c 2" .
-If you are unsure about the process, it's
-suggested that you read the
-.Xr fsck 8
-manual page.
-.Pp
-Second, you will probably want to get the etc distribution,
-extract it, and compare its contents with those in your
-.Pa /etc
-directory.  You will probably want to replace some of your
-system configuration files, or incorporate some of the changes
-in the new versions into yours.
-.Pp
-Third, you will probably want to update the set of device
-nodes you have in
-.Pa /dev .
-If you've changed the contents of
-.Pa /dev
-by hand, you will need to be careful about this, but if not, you can just
-.Ic cd
-into
-.Pa /dev ,
-and run the command
-.Ic "sh MAKEDEV all" .
-.Pp
-Fourth, you must deal with certain changes in the formats of
-some of the configuration files.  The most notable change is
-that the
-.Sq options
-given to many of the file systems in
-.Pa /etc/fstab
-or by hand have changed, and some of the file systems have changed names.
-.Em Important: any instances of
-.Sy ufs
-.Em in
-.Pa /etc/fstab
-.Em must be changed to
-.Sy ffs .
-To find out what the
-new options are, it's suggested that you read the manual page
-for the file system's mount commands, for example
-.Xr mount_nfs 8
-for NFS.
-.(Note
-The information for mounts of type
-.Em ffs ,
-i.e. Fast File System, is contained in the
-.Xr mount 8
-man page.
-.Note)
-.Pp
-Finally, you will want to delete old binaries that were part
-of the version of
-.Nx
-that you upgraded from and have since
-been removed from the
-.Nx
-distribution.  If you are
-upgrading from a pre
-.Nx 1.0,
-you might also
-want to recompile any locally-built binaries, to take
-advantage of the shared libraries.  (Note that any new
-binaries that you build will be dynamically linked, and
-therefore take advantage of the shared libraries, by default.
-For information on how to make statically linked binaries,
-see the
-.Xr cc 1
-and
-.Xr ld 1
-manual pages.)
