You've been bitten by a rather confusingly named option in sysinstall. The "Upgrade" option means: Install the release of FreeBSD for which THIS COPY OF SYSINSTALL was desgined over an existing installation of FreeBSD. Unfortunately it does not mean Use this copy of sysinstall to install a later release of FreeBSD. What you should have done / should do is create kern and mfsroot floppies for the release to which you want to upgrade and use those to "Upgrade". Ciao, sheldon.
