[UPDATE] Re: FreeBSD 12.0-RC2 Now Available

[Glen Barber]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

The freebsd-update(8) binary upgrade patches are now available for
12.0-RC2.

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases.  Systems running earlier
FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.0-RC2

During this process, freebsd-update(8) may ask the user to help by
merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically
performed merging was done correctly.

# freebsd-update install

The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before
continuing.

# shutdown -r now

After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new
userland components:

# freebsd-update install

It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible,
especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example,
FreeBSD 11.x.  Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat11x and
other compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted
into the new userland:

# shutdown -r now

Finally, after rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to remove
stale files:

# freebsd-update install

Regards,

Glen

investigated.

Also note, at present, freebsd-update(8) patch builds are still in
progress.  A followup email will be sent in reply to this announcement
when they are available.

Note regarding arm SD card images: For convenience for those without
console access to the system, a freebsd user with a password of
freebsd is available by default for ssh(1) access.  Additionally,
the root user password is set to root.  It is strongly recommended
to change the password for both users after gaining access to the
system.

Installer images and memory stick images are available here:

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/

The image checksums follow at the end of this e-mail.

If you notice problems you can report them through the Bugzilla PR
system or on the -stable mailing list.

If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing
system, use the "releng/12.0" branch.

A summary of changes since 12.0-RC1 includes:

o Kernel debugging support in various kernel configurations has been
  disabled, which was missed when branching releng/12.0 from stable/12.

o Allow set ether/vlan PCP operation from the VNET jails.

o Align IA32_ARCH_CAP MSR definitions and use with SDM rev. 068.

o Several IFLIB-related fixes.

o Regressions when using 'pciconf -l' were fixed.

o Handle kernel superpage mappings in pmap_remove_l2().  (PR 233088)

o Fix /etc/ntp permissions.

o OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1a.

o Various fixes to libbe(3) and bectl(8).

o A src.conf knob to build userland with retpoline was added (off by
  default).

o Various other miscellaneous fixes.

A list of changes since 11.2-RELEASE is available in the releng/12.0
release notes:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/relnotes.html

Please note, the release notes page is not yet complete, and will be
updated on an ongoing basis as the 12.0-RELEASE cycle progresses.

=== Virtual Machine Disk Images ===

VM disk images are available for the amd64 and i386 architectures.
Disk images may be downloaded from the following URL (or any of the
FreeBSD FTP mirrors):

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/VM-IMAGES/12.0-RC2/

The partition layout is:

~ 16 kB - freebsd-boot GPT partition type (bootfs GPT label)
~ 1 GB  - freebsd-swap GPT partition type (swapfs GPT label)
~ 20 GB - freebsd-ufs GPT partition type (rootfs GPT label)

The disk images are available in QCOW2, VHD, VMDK, and raw disk image
formats.  The image download size is approximately 135 MB and 165 MB
respectively (amd64/i386), decompressing to a 21 GB sparse image.

Note regarding arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images: a modified QEMU EFI
loader file is needed for qemu-system-aarch64 to be able to boot the
virtual machine images.  See this page for more information:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/QEMU

To boot the VM image, run:

% qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4096M -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt  \
-bios QEMU_EFI.fd -serial telnet::,server -nographic \
-drive if=none,file=VMDISK,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 \
-netdev user,id=net0

Be sure to replace "VMDISK" with the path to the virtual machine image.
