This article gives some brief instructions on installing FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE and +upgrading the systems running earlier releases.

+
+
+ +
+
+

1 Installing FreeBSD

+ +

The “Installing FreeBSD” chapter of the FreeBSD +Handbook provides more in-depth information about the installation program itself, +including a guided walk-through with screenshots.

+
+ +
+
+

2 Upgrading FreeBSD

+ +

If you are upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, please read upgrading section in the Release Notes for notable incompatibilities +carefully.

+ +
+
+

2.1 Upgrading from Source

+ +

The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html +and http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook//makeworld.html.

+ +

For SVN use the releng/9.0 branch which will be where any +upcoming Security Advisories or Errata Notices will be applied. The branch tag to use for +updating the source is RELENG_9_0 for CVS.

+
+ +
+
+

2.2 Upgrading Using “FreeBSD +Update”

+ +

The +freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary +upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.[34]-RELEASE, 8.[12]-RELEASE, 9.0-BETA[123], or 9.0-RC[123] can upgrade +as follows:

+ +

First, ensure that your current system is up to date; a change was recently made to +freebsd-update(8) (Errata Notice FreeBSD-EN-12:01.freebsd-update) which is needed in order to upgrade to +FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE.

+ +
+# freebsd-update fetch
+# freebsd-update install
+
+ +

Now the +freebsd-update(8) utility can fetch bits +belonging to 9.0-RELEASE. During this process +freebsd-update(8) will ask for help in merging +configuration files.

+ +
+# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.0-RELEASE
+
+ +

Due to changes in the way that FreeBSD is packaged on the release media, two +complications may arise in this process if upgrading from FreeBSD 7.x or 8.x:

+ +
    +
  1. +

    The FreeBSD, which previously could appear in either /boot/kernel or /boot/GENERIC, now only +appears as /boot/kernel. As a result, any kernel appearing in +/boot/GENERIC will be deleted. Please carefully read the output +printed by +freebsd-update(8) and confirm that an updated +kernel will be placed into /boot/kernel before proceeding +beyond this point.

    +
    2. + +
  2. +

    The FreeBSD source tree in /usr/src (if present) will be +deleted. (Normally the +freebsd-update(8) utility will update a source +tree, but in this case the changes in release packaging result in the +freebsd-update(8) utility not recognizing that +the source tree from the old release and the source tree from the new release correspond +to the same part of FreeBSD.)

    +
    3. +
+ +
+# freebsd-update install
+
+ +

The system must now be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before the non-kernel +components are updated.

+ +
+# shutdown -r now
+
+ +

After rebooting, +freebsd-update(8) needs to be run again to +install the new userland components:

+ +
+# freebsd-update install
+
+ +

At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE or earlier +will be prompted by +freebsd-update(8) to rebuild all third-party +applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in system +libraries.

+ +

After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if +freebsd-update(8) printed a message indicating +that this was necessary), run +freebsd-update(8) again so that it can delete the +old (no longer used) system libraries:

+ +
+# freebsd-update install
+
+ +

Finally, reboot into 9.0-RELEASE

+ +
+# shutdown -r now
+
+
+
