Upgreading Servers From 4.9 to 5.x ,Changing Server and BootProblem

[Vahric MUHTARYAN]

Hi Everybody , 


	First I want to learn Which method are you using When you want
to pass between version For example 3.x to 4.x or 4.x to 5.x . Are you
installing new version to new machine then copy all files ?! 



	My second question is  ; in FreeBSD package management is very
good . All ports are installed in /usr/local ... at this moment When I
need to change server at this moment does it enough to copy all
/usr/local directory to the new server ( of course all data , same
kernel configuration on new machine and same /etc/rc.conf file .. ) Does
it work ?  Anybody have any experience about this  ? 

	
	And I wondering What do you do when boot problem like loader ,
kernel and kernel.old too ... How do you open OS ? Because in Linux We
can create a disk with mkbootdisk command at this moment We have a same
kernel and startup things in diskette ?!!
