I recently did a 4.2 to 4.3 upgrade by booting from the 4.3 floppies
and using /stand/sysinstall.  

After it finished and it rebooted, it had wiped out my /var directory.
Is this normal procedure?

If it's not normal, then I probably did something wrong along the way.
This is where I keep my mysql database files.  Luckily I had a backup.
:)

Also, I chose _not_ to upgrade ports at the same time to minimize
downtime.  What would be the best way to get the new ports now that
I'm up and stable?

Thanks,
Rob
