The upgrade to OpenBSD 1.1 is a binary upgrade; it would be prohibitive
to make users upgrade by compiling and installing the 1.1 sources, and
it would be very difficult to even compile a set of instructions that
allowed them to do so. Because of the various changes to the system,
the largest being the 64-bit file size support and shared libraries,
it is impractical to upgrade by recompiling from the sources and
installing.
To do the upgrade, you must have the OpenBSD kernel on AmigaDOS and
you must transfer the upgrade filesystem upgr-11.fs onto the swap
partition of the OpenBSD hard disk. You must also have at least the
"base11" binary distribution set available, so that you can upgrade
with it, using one of the upgrade methods described above. Finally,
you must have sufficient disk space available to install the new
binaries. Since the old binaries are being overwritten in place,
you only need space for the new binaries, which weren't previously
on the system. If you have a few megabytes free on each of your
root and /usr partitions, you should have enough space.
Since upgrading involves replacing the kernel, and most of the system
binaries, it has the potential to cause data loss. You are strongly
advised to BACK UP ANY IMPORTANT DATA ON YOUR DISK, whether on the
OpenBSD partition or on another operating system's partition, before
beginning the upgrade process.
To upgrade your system, follow the following instructions:
Transfer the upgrade miniroot filesystem onto the hard disk
partition used by OpenBSD for swapping, as described in the
"Preparing your System for OpenBSD Installation" section above.
Now boot up OpenBSD using the 1.1 kernel using the loadbsd
command:
loadbsd -b bsd
You should see the screen clear and some information about
your system as the kernel configures the hardware. Note which
hard disk device is configured that contains your root and
swap partition. When prompted for the root device, type
'sd0*' (replacing 0 with the disk number that OpenBSD used for
your root/swap device). The '*' character indicates that the
root filesystem is contained on the swap partition.
When you reach the prompt asking you for a shell name, just
hit return.
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
hit Control-C to stop the upgrade process at any time.
However, if you hit it at an inopportune moment, your system
may be left in an inconsistent (and possibly unusable) state.
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 "fsck -c 2". Read the fsck(8) manual page for more
details.
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 /mnt.
If your file systems are being upgraded, the upgrade script
will copy the new fsck(8) program to your hard disk and
upgrade your remaining file systems.
The upgrade program will then mount all of your file systems
under /mnt. (In other words, your root partition will be
mounted on /mnt, your /usr partition on /mnt/usr, etc.)
If you don't already have the OpenBSD distribution sets on your
disk, look in the installation section for information on how
to transfer them to your disk.
Once the distribution sets are transferred to your disk,
continue here. (Obviously, if the OpenBSD 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!)
After the software has been transferred to the machine (or
mounted, in the case of upgrading via NFS), change into the
directory containing the "base11" distribution set. Once you
are there, run the "Set_tmp_dir" command, and hit 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.)
Run the command "Extract base11" to upgrade the base
distribution.
Repeat the above two steps for all of the sets you wish to
upgrade. (For each, change into the directory containing the
set, run "Set_tmp_dir" and accept the default path name, then
run the "Extract <setname>" command.)
If you were previously using the security distribution set,
you 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 NOT
upgrade to the new version.
When you are done upgrading all of the distribution sets you
wish to upgrade, issue the command "Cleanup". It will clean
up the installation, by remaking some system databases. When
it is complete, you should use "halt" to halt the system.
You will probably also want to copy the release "bsd" kernel
image to your root at some point.
Your system has now been upgraded to OpenBSD 1.1.
After a new kernel has been copied to your hard disk, your
machine is a complete OpenBSD 1.1 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.
First, if you did not upgrade your file systems to the new
file system format during the upgrade process, you may want to
do so now, with "fsck -c 2". If you are unsure about the
process, it's suggested that you read the fsck(8) manual page.
Second, you will probably want to get the etc11 distribution,
extract it, and compare its contents with those in your /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.
Third, you will probably want to update the set of device
nodes you have in /dev. If you've changed the contents of
/dev by hand, you will need to be careful about this, but if
not, you can just cd into /dev, and run the command "sh
MAKEDEV all".
Fourth, you must deal with certain changes in the formats of
some of the configuration files. The most notable change is
that the "options" given to many of the file systems in
/etc/fstab or by hand have changed, and some of the file
systems have changed names. To find out what the new options
are, it's suggested that you read the manual page for the
file systems' mount commands, for example mount_nfs(8) for
NFS. (Note that the information for mounts of type "ufs",
i.e. Fast File Systems, are contained in the mount(8) man
page.)
Finally, you will want to delete old binaries that were part
of the version of OpenBSD that you upgraded from and have since
been removed from the OpenBSD distribution. 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 cc(1) and ld(1) manual pages.)
