In fact I would try running the 7.x version on this system. I'd definitely be inclined to ensure you're using the more uptodate Version of freebsd-update... "As I write this, 'upgrade' support does not yet exist in the version of FreeBSD Update in the FreeBSD base system, so the next step is to download the script. If you are running FreeBSD 7.0-RC1 or FreeBSD 6.3-RC1 or later, you should already have this new version of FreeBSD Update installed, so you can skip this step." http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade .html Added note: Instructions at above URL worked perfectly for 6.2 > 7.0, and Instructions at URL below worked perfectly for 7.0 > 7.1 http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-10-freebsd-minor-version-upgrade .html L8rs!
