You pretty much have to do a reinstall though. I don't know of a way to bypass the newfs on the drive. However, I would recommend using it in live mode rather than doing an installation. That gives you a working system from the CD or flash drive without using the system disk.

Go back and reboot the system from the hard drive and use freebsd-update with a rollback command to go back to your 9.3 system you started with. Note, you may have to do a couple rollbacks to get to the clean 9.3 system. Go back to where the NIC works and then use freebsd-update to upgrade to the version that works with that NIC. > Thanks again Doug. The second rollback got me back to 9.3, never had done a rollback before and didn't realize. I'm working again under 9.3 and the Live CD shows all my network cards work under 11.0, but now having a problem with freebsd-update: > root@backup2:/home/admin # freebsd-update -r 11.0-RELEASE upgrade > Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. > Fetching metadata signature for 9.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done. > Fetching metadata index... done. > Fetching 1 metadata files... done. > Inspecting system... done. > > The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed: > kernel/generic src/src world/base > > The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed: > world/doc world/games > > Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y > > Fetching metadata signature for 11.0-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done. > Fetching metadata index... done. > Fetching 1 metadata patches. done. > Applying metadata patches... done. > Fetching 1 metadata files... done. > > The update metadata is correctly signed, but > failed an integrity check. > Cowardly refusing to proceed any further. I also tried running fetch/install and it seems to be stuck in a loop doing this over and over stuck on 9.3-RELEASE-p43: > root@backup2:/home/admin # freebsd-update fetch > Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. > Fetching metadata signature for 9.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done. > Fetching metadata index... done. > Inspecting system... done. > Preparing to download files... done. > > The following files will be removed as part of updating to 9.3-RELEASE-p53: > > root@backup2:/home/admin # freebsd-update install > Installing updates... done. I've researched a bit on the web, added the following to /etc/rc.conf: kldxref_enable="YES" kldxref_clobber="YES" And to /etc/freebsd-update.conf: IgnorePaths /boot/kernel/linker.hints And finally cleaned out /tmp and /var/db/freebsd-update with no success. Any help appreciated! -- Robert
