Hi all -
I recently got a leased server that's running 5.3. It's in Texas. I'm in
Washington. I want to upgrade it to 6-STABLE. In the update docs it says
that "when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot
into single user mode to do the installworld."
Which obviously is a problem. And I find it hard to believe it's really
necessary as this is going to be an issue for a lot of people. Is this
similar to the old recommendation of doing this "unless your system is
relatively quiet"?
I also read about needing to build a kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD5 in order for
the new kernel to boot and be able to installworld.
Anything else? And anyone know if the boot into single user mode is really
necessary?
Can't really test it on my remote box....
Thanks!
