Wow! I finally successfully did a firmware update on my embedded
platform which didn't require a reflash. I updated from 1.2-RC2 to
1.2-RC3 downloaded a few minutes ago. The process I used was:
upload tgz file to /tmp/firmware.tgz
select option 13, and used local file for upgrade
... sat nervously watching serial console ...
system rebooted and everything came up. VPN (3 IPsec tunnels), rules,
etc.
The *only* thing not right, and this has been reported before but
never reproduced it seems, is that the /etc/ttys file was for the full
version. Thus, there was no menu on the serial port console. Copying
over the ttys_wrap file from CVS and "kill -1 1" fixed that.
I do notice that there is one funny error on the Firmware screen now:
Just to the left of the "Enable Firmware Uplaod" button is this string:
echo "This platform cannot be upgraded. Consider using option 13
from the console."; exit;
and then it lets you click the button anyhow. (I needed this to make
the file system writable for updating the ttys file, so I'm glad that
bug was there).
