You will have to sync your source using cvsup(1) to the apropriate branch which I guess will be RELENG_5_3. General instructions on how to sync your source to the new release and how to recompile and reinstall your system are located in the FreeBSD Handbook at: and . Some tips for updating your jails can be found at . You should definitely back up your entire system before updating. It's also probably advisable to disable all additionally installed software before booting the new version. There seem to have been a lot of changes which may break your current binaries. So after you upgrade the system, a portupgrade -fa may be in place. And be sure to have a look at /usr/src/UPDATING after syncing your source. I would break this all up into the following 1. backup 2. rebuild steps, including cvsup, buildworld etc 3. disable all ports and jails 4. install steps, including install{kernel,world} and mergemaster, reboot etc [see if it works] 5. jail updating steps ...
