FWIW I successfully upgraded over a dozen FreeBSD 8.4 amd64 machines straight to 10.1 earlier this year, bypassing 9.x all together. One of the machines had bad enough problems to require a reinstall, but it was very old hardware and I didn't have physical access to it so I never got to the root cause. In the end we chucked it and got a new machine anyway. I don't want to negate the advice of going to 9 first - I'm just sharing my experience. HTH, Greg.
