FreeBSD miranda.pugtsurani.local 9.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Jun 12 02:52:29 UTC 2012     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
The FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE Installation Instructions (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/installation.html) incorrectly state to upgrade to "9.0-RELEASE" instead of "9.1-RELEASE". Since this page is to document the upgrade to 9.1-RELEASE, upgrading from 9.0-RELEASE will fail and upgrading from pre-9.0 will upgrade to 9.0-RELEASE.
[CODE]
Now the freebsd-update(8) utility can fetch bits belonging to 9.1-RELEASE. During this process freebsd-update(8) will ask for help in merging configuration files.

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.0-RELEASE
[/CODE]

>How-To-Repeat:
On a 9.0-RELEASE machine, enter the commands as instructed.
[CODE]
# sudo freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.0-RELEASE
freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 9.0-RELEASE to itself
[/CODE]

>Fix:
Change "9.0-RELEASE" to "9.1-RELEASE".
[CODE]
# sudo freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-RELEASE
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.0-RELEASE from update4.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 1 metadata patches. done.
Applying metadata patches... done.
Fetching 1 metadata files... done.

[/CODE]

The website should be updated as follows.
[CODE]
Now the freebsd-update(8) utility can fetch bits belonging to 9.1-RELEASE. During this process freebsd-update(8) will ask for help in merging configuration files.

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-RELEASE
