I don=E2=80=99t see any upgrade tips here: = https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Duefi&sektion=3D8&manpath=3Dfre= ebsd-release-ports This handbook seems to have no upgrade info: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot-introduction.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/book.html And I=E2=80=99m still not sure if the wiki is considered a canonical = source for this info or if it=E2=80=99s more of a developer=E2=80=99s = notebook.
