Hello all

I'm administrator of a server with FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE.
Before some time I found than it is not possible replace executable
and shared libraries when are used for execution ("Text file busy" error
message). So how can I update my -STABLE from remote location ?
I'm thinking abount alternate disk partitions for /usr, /var and /, so I
would be able to update into alternate location, and switch rootdev to
updated location. How I can switch to boot from different partition ?

P.S. I'm sorry for my language.
