For me that was not possible.  My disks were partitioned and labeled =
when FreeBSD 4.7 was new.  The size of the root partition was now too =
small for 9.0.  I had to do a complete install and reformat of the =
drives to get to 9.0.  My root partition was a bit small for 7.x as I =
had to delete the symbol files to make it fit. =20
