These lines taken from the Handbook confirm this : [...] The default is to update the source code, the entire base system, and the kernel. [...] The freebsd-update utility can automatically update the GENERIC kernel only. If a custom kernel is in use, it will have to be rebuilt and reinstalled after freebsd-update finishes installing the rest of the updates. However,freebsd-update will detect and update the GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC (if it exists), even if it is not the current (running) kernel of the system. [...] Sources : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html "freebsd-update" tool works only with -RELEASE, you are right. Best Regards, Alexandre
