Save your current /etc to somewhere safe. 2. Boot the floppy, configure devices as usual. 3. At the menu, select "upgrade". 4. Configure the disk and disklabel info so the filesystems are NOT newfs'd (hit M and the mountpoint on each partition, It defaults to no newfs but just make sure). 5. Select the distributions you want (should be the same as what you picked before, especially when concerning DES). note there is a compat21 option, you will surely want to install that :-) 6. Select & configure the media (most likely ftp). 7. Hit it, sit back and relax for a bit. 8. Come back, note & confirm all files that sysconfig can't upgrade. You'll be dropped to a shell prompt; make changes by copying or editing files as necessary. 9. type 'reboot' and check the boot config. 10. Rebuild & reinstall the kernel. 11. Reboot one final time and you're off. That's a generic guide to upgrading any FreeBSD -RELEASE version.
