Yes, there are several entries. 20000615 is the most interesting:
In addition, you'll need to update your boot blocks to a
more modern version, if you haven't already done so. Modern
here means 4.0 release or newer (although older releases
may work).
Now, my system was installed around 4.4, so I "should not" need to
update my boot blocks. Correct?
Getting back to my original question, the problem I was having was with
the loader itself. Now, do I have to execute this step (from the
UPDATING document)
cd src/sys/boot ; make install
Reason why I ask is because my loader is from 4.4, so it should work.
(Provided I do a
ok unload
ok boot /boot/kernel/kernel
manually) As the UPDATING doc mentions, upgrading from 4.x to 5.x needs
that step to avoid those extra steps, yes? But it should still boot if I
unload and load manually, correct? I guess the real question was that
if this is the case, it didn't boot into /boot/kernel/kernel at that
point either... after the unload and boot steps above. Could that have
occurred because I still had the old /modules directory?
