Download the 2.2.2 boot floppy, reboot, and use the upgrade procedure.
That's it. (Well, I made it only 2.1.0-SNAP -> 2.1.0, -> 2.1.5 -> 2.2.1,
but I think, nothing important is changed, only that in 2.2.2, instead of
/etc/sysconfig, there is a new file (I think) /etc/rc.config, and you has to
make an /etc/login.conf (man login.conf, or download it from
ftp.freebsd.org).
Bye, Gabor
