Even if it works - using the old system's sysinstall is not the suggested way for binary upgrades!! Important: These notes assume that you are using the version of sysinstall(8) supplied with the version of FreeBSD to which you intend to upgrade. [...] The most commonly made mistake in this regard is the use of an old copy of sysinstall(8) from an existing installation to upgrade to a newer version of FreeBSD. This is not recommended. Boot floppies or any thing are needed!! Ciao, Mark
