Even the move from 9.2 (a near year old 9/stable) to 10.1 (stable/10 as of about 3 weeks ago) is slightly problematic. Following the normal upgrade procedure of installkernel and then rebooting with the userland untouched runs into a problem whereby rc.conf falls apart with a shower of eval errors, no networking, ... I do not know the cause. Fortunately the quick and dirty upgrade approach works for this case. I did not expect it to (8-) cd /usr/src mergemaster -p make installkernel make installworld mergemaster shutdown -r now -- Adrian Wontroba
