I can't seem to get freebsd-update to do the jump from 9.2-RELEASE-p9 to =
p10.  This is what I'm getting.

   > sudo freebsd-update fetch

   Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
   Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from =
update5.FreeBSD.org... done.
   Fetching metadata index... done.
   Inspecting system... done.
   Preparing to download files... done.

   The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have
   been downloaded because the files have been modified locally:
   /var/db/mergemaster.mtree

   No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p10.

   Any security issues discovered after Wed Aug  1 00:00:00 UTC 2012

Note the complaint about mergemaster.mtree.  I haven't modified that, so =
I'm not sure why it's complaining.  It may be a red herring anyway =
though.  However, since no changes have been downloaded, an install does =
nothing.

   > sudo freebsd-update install
   No updates are available to install.
   Run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch' first.

However, after a reboot, I'm still running p9.

I'm running a generic kernel, which should be updated according to the =
freebsd-update docs.  Any suggestions for how to get this to complete?
