Applies to:  NetMAX FreeBSD BLD475

Once you have received a new kernel, it must be copied (uploaded) to the NetMAX server. The kernel may be uploaded using the files manager interface (Home|Personal|<path>|UPLOAD). "Root Access" must be enabled on the server, which can be set up via Home|Users|Root Access. Remember to COMMIT the changes.

Telnet into the NetMAX from your client machine. The user account must be a "Network Administrator" account, otherwise the user will not be able to "su" to root. If you choose to allow "Domain/Hostname Access" in root access, you will be able to telnet directly as the user "root" using the password you have enabled. Otherwise, once the network administrator has logged on via telnet, type the command "su" and press enter. This command will prompt you for a password; enter the "root" password entered in the "Root Access" page.

The first step is to make a copy of the current kernel, in case there is a problem. It is also possible to use the Repair facility to correct any problems automatically.

Type the following commands (all are followed by pressing enter) - case is important:
chflags noschg /kernel
cp -p /kernel /kernel.old

Now, replace the current kernel with the one you have recently uploaded to the NetMAX server. <path> is the location within the file system where you uploaded the file:
cp <path>/kernel /kernel
rm /var/db/kvm_kernel.db

You're done. Now the server must be rebooted:
sync
/sbin/reboot

Once the system comes up successfully, the new kernel will have any additional hardware support. If there are any problems, contact NetMAX Technical Support.
