Just want to be sure that I do the right thing.
So, my version at present is 5.3-BETA1 and I want to install 5.3.
I supposed I could just install 5.3 over my current version, but
wouldn't an upgrade work just as well?
Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right:
go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup
issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2
stable-supfile
once finished, then go to: /usr/src
enter the commands:
make buildworld KERNCONF=yourkernelname (for name, look to config file
found in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/)
make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname (look to / )
make installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname
reboot
You should boot in single user mode (using boot -s from loader
prompt for example). Then continue with:
mergemaster -p
go to /usr/src and type: make installworld
mergemaster
update /dev (for 4.x only)
reboot
