-There is no upgrade program for
-.Nx*M ;
-you will have to
-upgrade your system by hand. Here are some hints about
-how to do it:
-.(bullet -offset indent
-First replace the kernel,
-.Pa /boot
-and the boot blocks
-with new ones. The boot system has changed since 1.3.
-.It
-Reboot the system so you are running with the new kernel.
-.It
-Untar the wanted distributions.
-.It
-Reboot the system once again.
-.It
-Now you will (hopefully) be up and running in the new world.
-.bullet)
-.(Note
-.No You Em should not No extract the
-.Sy etc
-set if upgrading. Instead, you should extract that set into another
-area and carefully merge the changes by hand.

+.so ../common/upgrade
+.Pp
+.Nx*M
+has switched its executable format from the old a.out format
+to ELF, the now more commonly used and supported format. Your old
+binaries will continue to work just fine. The installation procedure
+will try to take the necessary steps to accomplish this. The most
+important step is to move the old a.out shared libraries in
+.Pa /usr/lib
+and
+.Pa /usr/X11R6/lib
+(if X was installed) to
+.Pa /emul/aout ,
+where they will be automatically found if an older a.out binary
+is executed. Sysinst will use an existing
+.Pa /emul
+and / or
+.Pa /emul/aout
+directory if available, and will create it (as a symbolic link to
+.Pa /usr/aout )
+if necessary.
+.Pp
+If you already had a
+.Pa /emul
+directory, or a symbolic link by that name, sysinst should rename it
+and tell you about it.
