. There is no upgrade program for NetBSD/vax; you will have to upgrade your system by hand. Here are some hints about how to do it: l -bullet -offset indent t First replace the kernel, /boot and the boot blocks with new ones. The boot system has changed since 1.3. t Reboot the system so you are running with the new kernel. t Untar the wanted distributions. Remember to use the .Cm --unlink flag to .Xr tar 1 , otherwise you will run into trouble. t Reboot the system once again. t Now you will (hopefully) be up and running in the new world. .El .(Note .No You Em should not No extract the .Sy etc set if upgrading. Instead, you should extract that set into another area and carefully merge the changes by hand. .Note)
