bd79cf400b OK, you can use the 4.x boot loader and boot blocks to load kernels, but 
I'm nervous about recommending it, so note it as a footnote only for now.

b705ae1084 Note the scary messages that you see when mounting / and other things 
are expected and normal when you've booted a 5.0 kernel with a 4.x

f643de42bb State the stupidly obvious: 
If /tmp is on /, then blowing away its contents, as appropriate,
	may get you enough space to do the installworld.
 2002-10-26 22:55:43 +00:00
Warner Losh
5c195f592b Note: 5.0 requires more space. If you don't have 30MB free on /, then 
you are going to get hurt badly if you try to do an update from
sources.  Make a note of this.  While 'experts' could install it in
less space, I think 30MB is a good number.

63cb445e51 A simple make world is too dangerous for most upgrades. Instead, copy 
the updating from stable section, and remove the kludge-o-rounds that
are in there.

Sometimes make world is safe, sometimes not.  Let's document the safe
way to deal.

fc8c157fad Note GEOM removal of the compatibility slice, and what you, the 
upgrader needs to do about it.

Also, greatly expand the the upgrading from -stable part of this file.
It appears that you need new boot blocks to ensure that the right
kernel is booted single user.
