Hello, The chapter on updating a system from sources (http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-updating.html), under section 33.1, is a good reference even if one has done the procedure a few times, but I think it should mention upgrading the bootcode as well (sometimes it does change to introduce new features).
After installing the new kernel, but before rebooting, I would like to see something along the line of: ``If the bootloader has been updated to introduce new features it needs to be updated as well. Copy the latest bootcode to the root and run installboot(8) to install the latest boot blocks. (Note that the boot blocks are filesystem dependent; use dumpfs(8) to determine filesystem type if you have forgot what filesystem is used for the root partition) # cp /usr/obj/.../boot /boot # installboot ...'' Out of curiosity; where is the source for The Guide stored? I thought I'd submit a patch, but I couldn't figure out where I would do the edit. I'm not subscribed to this list, please CC any replies. -- Kind Regards, Jan
