+== Upgrade instructions
+It is possible to update your Haiku install from Beta 1 to Beta 2. You need at least XXX megabytes of free space on your system partition and a reliable internet access for downloading the packages. Alternatively you may download the beta 2 disk image and extract the updated packages from there if your Haiku system does not have sufficiently reliable internet access (XXX explain how to do this).
+The folowing procedure should be followed:
+
+=== Updating to the latest version of beta1
+
+{{{
+pkgman update
+}}}
+
+=== Updating the EFI bootloader
+
+The EFI bootloader must be updated manually. Download the new bootloader from XXX and replace the old one in your EFI system partition.
+
+(XXX should this be done before or after updating the system?)
+
+If you boot your computer using BIOS and MBR, no manual bootloader update is needed. XXX explain how to check which bootloader is used.
+
+=== Switching to the new repositories
+
+{{{
+pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/r1beta2/$(getarch)/current
+pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/r1beta2/$(getarch)/current
+}}}
+
+=== Updating to beta2
+
+{{{
+pkgman full-sync
+reboot
+}}}
