<h3 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN36" name="AEN36">2.2 Upgrading Using &#8220;FreeBSD
Update&#8221;</a></h3>

<p>The <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> utility supports binary
&#09;upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running &#09;earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems
running &#09;<tt class="LITERAL">8.[34]-RELEASE</tt>, &#09;<tt
class="LITERAL">9.[01]-RELEASE</tt>, &#09;<tt class="LITERAL">9.2-BETA[123]</tt>, or
&#09;<tt class="LITERAL">9.2-RC[1234]</tt> can upgrade as follows:</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> freebsd-update fetch
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> freebsd-update install
</pre>

<p>Now the <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> utility can fetch bits
&#09;belonging to 9.2-RELEASE. During this process &#09;<a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> will ask for help in merging
&#09;configuration files.</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RELEASE
</pre>

<p>Due to changes in the way that FreeBSD is packaged on the &#09;release media, two
complications may arise in this process if &#09;upgrading from FreeBSD 8.x:</p>

<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>The FreeBSD kernel, which previously could appear in either &#09; <tt
class="FILENAME">/boot/kernel</tt> or &#09; <tt class="FILENAME">/boot/GENERIC</tt>, now
only appears as &#09; <tt class="FILENAME">/boot/kernel</tt>. As a result, any &#09;
kernel appearing in <tt class="FILENAME">/boot/GENERIC</tt> &#09; will be deleted. Please
carefully read the output printed &#09; by <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> and confirm that an updated
&#09; kernel will be placed into &#09; <tt class="FILENAME">/boot/kernel</tt> before
proceeding beyond &#09; this point.</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>The FreeBSD source tree in <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/src</tt> &#09; (if present) will
be deleted. (Normally the &#09; <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> utility will update a source
tree, &#09; but in this case the changes in release packaging result &#09; in the <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> utility not recognizing that
&#09; the source tree from the old release and the source tree &#09; from the new release
correspond to the same part of &#09; FreeBSD.)</p>
</li>
</ol>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> freebsd-update install
</pre>

<p>The system must now be rebooted with the newly installed &#09;kernel before the
non-kernel components are updated.</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> shutdown -r now
</pre>

<p>After rebooting, <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> needs to be run &#09;again to
install the new userland components:</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> freebsd-update install
</pre>

<p>At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD &#09;8.4-RELEASE or
earlier will be prompted by &#09;<a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> to rebuild all third-party
applications &#09;(e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in
&#09;system libraries.</p>

<p>After updating installed third-party applications (and &#09;again, only if <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> printed a message
&#09;indicating that this was necessary), run &#09;<a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE">
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
class="REFENTRYTITLE">freebsd-update</span>(8)</span></a> again so that it can delete the
old (no &#09;longer used) system libraries:</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> freebsd-update install
</pre>

<p>Finally, reboot into 9.2-RELEASE</p>

<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> shutdown -r now
</pre>
