        !            40: by extracting the sources in the distribution tape on a VAX, compiling,

        !            45: have to do a full bootstrap using a 4.3BSD tape;
        !            46: to install the \*(4B release, the new sources must then be loaded
        !            47: and compiled.
        !            48: Chapter 3 describes how to upgrade an existing 4.2BSD or 4.3BSD system.

        !            50: An understanding of the operations used in a full bootstrap
        !            51: is very helpful in performing an upgrade as well.
        !            52: In either case, it is highly desirable to read and understand

        !            57: The file system format was changed between 3BSD and 4.0BSD,
        !            58: and again between 4.1BSD and 4.2BSD.
        !            59: At a minimum you will have to dump any old file systems,
        !            60: and then restore them onto the \*(4B file system.
        !            61: Sites running 3BSD or 32/V may be able to modify the \fIrestore\fP
        !            62: program to understand the old 512 byte block file system,
        !            63: but this has never been tried.
        !            64: The dump format used in 4.0BSD and 4.1BSD is backward-compatible
        !            65: with that used in \*(4B (which is unchanged from 4.2BSD).
        !            66: That is, the \*(4B \fIrestore\fP program understands
        !            67: how to read 4.0BSD and 4.1BSD dump tapes, although \*(4B dump tapes cannot
        !            68: be restored under 4.0BSD or 4.1BSD.

        !            74: The first step is to dump your file systems with \fIdump\fP\|(8).
        !            75: For the utmost of safety this should be done to magtape.
        !            76: However, if you enjoy gambling with your life
        !            77: (or you have a VERY friendly user community)
        !            78: and you have enough disk space, you can try
        !            79: converting your file systems while copying to a new disk partition
        !            80: by piping the output of \fIdump\fP directly into \fIrestore\fP 
        !            81: after bringing up \*(4B.
        !            82: If you select the latter tack,
        !            83: a version of the 4.1BSD dump program that runs under \*(4B is
        !            84: provided in \fI/etc/dump.4.1\fP.
        !            85: Beware that file systems created under \*(4B can
        !            86: use about 5-10% more disk space for file system related information
        !            87: than under 4.1BSD.  Thus, before dumping each file system it is
        !            88: a good idea to remove any files that may be easily regenerated.
        !            89: Since all programs should be recompiled under the new
        !            90: system, your best bet is to remove any object files.  File
        !            91: systems with at least 10% free space on them should restore into
        !            92: an equivalently sized \*(4B file system without problem.

        !           127: Bootstrapping an 8600 is a bit more difficult than bootstrapping

        !           132: Such a pack may be made on an 8600 already running UNIX,

        !           134: using the procedures in 4.1.1.
