This article gives some brief instructions on installing FreeBSD 9.2-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

+ + + +
+
+

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/9.2 branch which will be where +any upcoming Security Advisories or Errata Notices will be applied.

+ +

Note that CVS is not supported.

+
+ +
+
+

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 8.[34]-RELEASE, 9.[01]-RELEASE, 9.1-BETA[123], or + 9.1-RC[1234] can upgrade as follows:

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

Now the +freebsd-update(8) utility can fetch bits + belonging to 9.2-RELEASE. During this process +freebsd-update(8) will ask for help in merging + configuration files.

+ +
+# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-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 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 8.4-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 9.2-RELEASE

+ +
+# shutdown -r now
+
+
