Sure I can download and try to upgrade, but I decided to ask this question on freebsd-mobile first, so that people with more experience than myself could possibly warn me of problems arising out of such a procedure. I really would hate to turn my laptop useless and in afterwards nag myself for not asking for advice first. That being said, if the upgrade program allows saving of the old BIOS content, I rest a little easier. And of course I'll let you know...
