There are a couple ways.  

1.  Backup your data and reinstall 4.2 release then cvsup to 4.2-stable
and do the recommended upgrade cycle as in the handbook at:
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html    (especially 
chapter 4),   and
/usr/src/UPDAATING

2.  Install a snapshot.  For that see
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/snapshots.html
I don't actually know how to install one.

3.   Upgrade completely by source.  If you're going to do that, a lot of
people reccommend cvsupping and upgrading to 3.5-stable then to
4.2-stable.   That way you get the most current in each branch and it
is least painful. 

	Either way, pay attention to /usr/src/UPDAATING
