You are required to 11a85c0f55SWarner Losh update the kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel. 12a85c0f55SWarner Losh kbdcontrol, vidcontrol, and screen savers also need recompilation. 13a85c0f55SWarner Losh The instruction can be found in 14a85c0f55SWarner Losh 15a85c0f55SWarner Losh http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt 16a85c0f55SWarner Losh 17a85c0f55SWarner Losh It has notes on splash screen too. 18a85c0f55SWarner Losh 199ba54ae0SWarner Losh19980106: 20db23c94fSWarner Losh Robert was kind enough to make this page to enable people to 21db23c94fSWarner Losh install the new bootblocks: 22db23c94fSWarner Losh http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt 23db23c94fSWarner Losh 249ba54ae0SWarner Losh When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your 259ba54ae0SWarner Losh /etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for 269ba54ae0SWarner Losh elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with 270061cc04SWarner Losh messages about being unable to find library files. The mergemaster 280061cc04SWarner Losh utility in ports/sysutils/mergemaster helps to keep critical 290061cc04SWarner Losh files like this in sync, and its use is recommended. 309ba54ae0SWarner Losh 312c558794SWarner Losh19990104: 322c558794SWarner Losh Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in 332c558794SWarner Losh http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html 342c558794SWarner Losh about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions 352c558794SWarner Losh for doing the upgrade. 36e363c17bSWarner Losh 37d5513f53SWarner Losh19981230: 38d5513f53SWarner Losh You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will 39e363c17bSWarner Losh become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade 40e363c17bSWarner Losh your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use 41e363c17bSWarner Losh make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old 42e363c17bSWarner Losh a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will 43e363c17bSWarner Losh continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile 44e363c17bSWarner Losh for more details. 45d5513f53SWarner Losh 46355edc3eSWarner Losh19981224: 47355edc3eSWarner Losh The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The 48355edc3eSWarner Losh driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change 49355edc3eSWarner Losh this in your configuration files. 50355edc3eSWarner Losh 51355edc3eSWarner Losh Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not 52355edc3eSWarner Losh configured" at boot time. 53355edc3eSWarner Losh 54355edc3eSWarner Losh The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel, 55355edc3eSWarner Losh with no replacement driver. 56355edc3eSWarner Losh 57ab308df6SWarner Losh19981202: 58ab308df6SWarner Losh New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they 59ab308df6SWarner Losh aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have. 60ab308df6SWarner Losh 61ab308df6SWarner Losh19981201: 62ab308df6SWarner Losh New user/group added: bind.
