I have successfully upgraded form FreeBSD 8.1 to FreeBSD 8.2. Here were = my steps: cvsup /root/stable-supfile=20 cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel shutdown -r now=20 *select single user mode* mount -u / zfs mount -a mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad4 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad5 zpool upgrade -a zfs upgrade -a shutdown -r now NOTE 1: the gpart commands are specific to my setup - I'm using a ZFS = mirror on ad4 and ad5. Your system may be different. NOTE 2: my "zfs upgrade -a" ran out of swap space and died. I ran "zfs = upgrade" to see what filesystems were left un-upgraded and did those = manually.=20 Thanks Scott Ballantyne and everyone else who responded. =20 Cheers! --Andy
