Fix /etc/fstab:

Swap the entries for $DESTDIR and /.
Comment out /compat mount point in /etc/fstab. We need to install Linux compatability first.

Then check in the updated version of /etc/fstab: Afterwards you should see:

--- fstab       2005/07/08 15:31:01     1.22
+++ fstab       2005/07/11 03:17:28

Check rc.conf: in particular, make sure that host name and IP don't conflict with any other system in the network. This won't happen if you're upgrading a system, but it could if you're cloning.

For the last time, check in the current RCS-controlled files:

/home/Sysconfig/scripts/ciRCS

Create the RCS links, and check out those which won't be in the way:

cd /home/Sysconfig/MasterRCS
.  ../scripts/linkRCS
.  ../scripts/coRCS

Make mount points for file systems in /etc/fstab:

.  mkmounts

Remove any DESTDIR definition in the checked-out files.

Reboot.

New installation

Install base system from CD.
Upgrade to latest -STABLE.
NFS mount environment, create /home/Sysconfig hierarchy:
```
ln -s /src/Sysconfig/<systemname> /home
```

Reinstalling ports

Current kludge, in /home/Sysconfig:

awk < installed-ports '{printf ("cd %s; %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s\n", $7, $8, $9, $10, $11, \
$12, $13, $15, $15); }'|uniq > installports
mailme sh installports

After rebooting

This is all wrong. To be fixed.

If you've changed your /home file system, copy it from the original now.
Copy the directories in /var that you need: Probably: backups log crash postfix rwho spool/postfix spool/lpd Probably not: db run tmp
XXX everything below here is from an earlier attempt, and most of it is wrong. It's left for comparison purposes only.
Set up DNS for the new machine.
Install a system from the latest CD-ROM, including bash and emacs.

Mount the local NFS server,

rm -rf /usr/src
ln -s /src/FreeBSD/5-CURRENT-WANTADILLA /usr

mergemaster -p
make buildworld
Create a config file. Involves creating a symlink from src/sys/i386/conf to /src/FreeBSD/configfiles/RCS, then check out and change the name. Don't forget to check in before building the kernel.
make kernel, reboot.
make installworkd
Copy /etc/RCS/* to new system.

cd /etc
mv group group.orig
mv master.passwd master.passwd.orig
co group master.passwd shells
diff -wu group group.orig
Merge differences, notably new groups
diff -wu master.passwd master.passwd.orig
Merge differences, notably new users
pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
(cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2; make install)
(cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs21; make install)
co ntpd.conf
cp -p /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Adelaide localtime

R=/wantadilla               remote system name
cp $R/root/.bashrc $R/root/.bash_profile  $R/root/.emacs ~root
(cd $R; tar cf - usr/local/share/abbreviations usr/share/syscons/keymaps/au.emacs.kbd ) \
   | tar xvf -
cp -p /wantadilla/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/* /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp

Run mergemaster again:

rm -rf /var/tmp/temproot/
find /var/tmp/temproot/|xargs chflags noschg
rm -rf /var/tmp/temproot/
cd /ETC
cp -p master.passwd group shells    /etc
pwd_mkdb /etc/
cd /usr
mv src src.local
ln -s /src/FreeBSD/5-CURRENT-ADELAIDE/src
mailme mergemaster -ia

Maintain a list of the currently installed packages in ~/packages. To make it,

pkg_info > /var/tmp/packages

Edit out the ones you don't want (including any you don't know: they're probably dependencies). Then:

sed <packages 's:-[0-9].*$: \\; Make install:; s:^:echo cd /usr/ports/*/:' | sh >~/packages

You need the space before the ; character so that the wild card expansion works correctly. Where more than one occurs, you need to work out which one is correct and remove the rest. Where a * remains, you need to go looking for the port.

Finally,

.  ~/packages

Old stuff, probably useless

Get a recent FreeBSD version on /destdir hierarchy. Need to work out the best way to do this. Currently I copy a partition from another recent system.

Set DESTDIR globally:
