Since 4.0 is right around the corner I want to kind of prepare myself for a successful upgrade. From Andys guide I obtained the following
QUOTE *Maintenance Step, On subsequent OpenBSD releases updating the initrd.bin* When a new OpenBSD version is released for the Zaurus (or a snapshot) if you decide to install that release it is probably wise to update zbsdmod.o and zboot located in the flash of the Zaurus. To achieve this update perform the following steps. i. Copy zbsdmod.o and zboot to a storage card. ii. Enter Emergency Linux as described earlier in this document. iii. Enter the following commands.. mkdir /mnt/flashroot mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/flashroot cd /mnt/flashroot/bsd iv. Insert the storage card and copy the new versions of zboot and zbsdmod.o to this location as follows (if using a CF card then substitute the path /mnt/cf for /mnt/card). cp /mnt/card/zbsdmod.o . cp /mnt/card/zboot . v. Flag zboot as executable using.. chmod +x zboot vi. Reboot the device using... shutdown -r now If I download the source can the kernel be built normally on the Z? If so how long would this take? I'm assuming x < 5 days! I know that during a normal install that the packges consisting of a base install are just pulled down and unpacked. Is there a similar way of doing this without going through the installation process? Thanks in Advance! |

I just upgraded my Z to -current (which is pre-OpenBSD-4.1) and have had to perform the horrifying act of pkg_delete -q /var/db/pkg/*
 You've been warned!
