Dear all

I visit  to the website http://mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/
and would like to upgrade freebsd
Can I upgrade it remotely?

But the website introduces to use single user.
How do I do it?

Thank you

# cd /usr/obj
# chflags -R noschg *
# rm -rf *


Compile the sources:
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld


Compile and install the new kernel:
# cd /usr/src
# make kernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL

Drop to single user mode:
# shutdown now
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# swapon -a


Install the world:
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld


Update /etc:
# cp -Rp /etc /etc.old
# /usr/sbin/mergemaster -v -w 132 (eliminate '-w 132' if 132x43 video
mode is not activated)


Update /dev:
# cd /dev
# /bin/sh MAKEDEV all


Update /stand:
# cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
# make clean
# make all install


Reboot to multi-user mode.
