Upgrading source is likely to fail, unless you rename/remove
any existing /usr/src. For some reason, every time I upgrade FreeBSD
via the CDs, I have to rename/remove /usr/src; otherwise, the install
process complains and refuses to update it.
[ It's been a minor pain, as I always forget to do that. Then I try to
upgrade via the CDs, get the error message, reboot, rename /usr/src,
and retry the upgrade. Foo. ]
