-section in
-.Pa src/UPDATING .
+This section describes best practices for common situations.
+When manual intervention is necessary, it will be mentioned in
+.Pa UPDATING .
+Make sure you have full backups before proceeding!
+.Ss Example 1: Build and upgrade system in place
+If using installed drivers such as graphics or virtual machine guest
+drivers, check out the
+.Xr ports 7
+tree, and specify the drivers in
+.Xr src.conf 5
+so they are built and installed automatically after the kernel:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent

-The following sequence of commands can be used to cross-build the system for
-the arm64 (aarch64) architecture on a different host architecture, such as
-amd64:
+Check out the CURRENT branch, build it, and install,
+overwriting the current system:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+git clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git /usr/src
+cd /usr/src
+make buildworld buildkernel
+make installkernel
+shutdown -r now
+.Ed
+.Pp
+For major version upgrades, boot into single-user mode.
+After restarting, install userspace, and merge configurations.
+After verifying that you do not need them, delete old files
+and libraries:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cd /usr/src
+etcupdate -p
+make installworld
+etcupdate -B
+make delete-old delete-old-libs
+shutdown -r now
+.Ed
+.Ss Example 2: Build and upgrade a custom kernel in place
+Create a custom kernel configuration,
+.Va MYKERNEL ,
+by including an existing configuration and using
+.Cm device Ns / Ns Cm nodevice
+and
+.Cm options Ns / Ns Cm nooption
+to select and configure components:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cd /usr/src
+cat << EOF > sys/amd64/conf/MYKERNEL
+include GENERIC
+ident MYKERNEL
+nodevice sound
+EOF
+.Ed
+.Pp
+After creating the new kernel configuration, build a fresh toolchain,
+build the kernel, and install it, moving the old kernel to
+.Pa /boot/kernel.old/ :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+make kernel-toolchain
+make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
+make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
+shutdown -r now
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To build the kernel to an alternate location, use the
+.Va INSTKERNNAME
+variable and boot it once to test via
+.Xr nextboot 8 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL INSTKERNNAME=testkernel
+nextboot -k testkernel
+shutdown -r now
+.Ed
+.Ss Example 3: Build and upgrade a single piece of userspace
+Rebuild and reinstall a single piece of userspace, in this case
+.Xr ls 1 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cd /usr/src/bin/ls
+make clean all install

+Rebuild and reinstall a single loadable kernel module, in this case
+.Xr sound 4 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cd /usr/src/sys/modules/sound
+make all install clean cleandepend KMODDIR=/boot/kernel
+.Ed
+.Ss Example 5: Quickly rebuild a kernel in place
+Quickly rebuild and reinstall the kernel, only recompiling the files
+changed since last build; note that this will only work if the full
+kernel build has been completed in the past, not on a fresh source tree:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cd /usr/src
+make kernel KERNFAST=1
+.Ed
+.Ss Example 6: Cross-compiling for different architectures
+To rebuild parts of
+.Fx
+for another CPU architecture,
+first prepare your source tree by building the cross-toolchain:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cd src
+make toolchain TARGET=arm64
+.Ed

+.Bd -literal -offset indent
