You can follow the normal upgrade procedure and it'll work fine. I
updated my ALPHA box to GAMMA and aren't having any problems.
FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist for 2.2:
1) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts.
Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same
distributions you did originally (including the kernel source, src/ssys!)
and any you wish to add.
2) Hit 'commit' to start the upgrade.
3) When you're dumped to a shell prompt:
. Your /etc directory is preserved as it was for 2.1.x. You will
want to look in /etc/upgrade, which contains new & updated files
for this release.
. Using your old sysconfig as a guide, create a new sysconfig using
the one in /etc/upgrade as a template.
. You may want to copy over the rc* files from upgrade/, so new
features in sysconfig are used.
. Migrate other files as necessary.
5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.
