I assume that when you said not reinstalling means that you dont do a format/clean reinstall from medium. I also assume you have cvsup installed. If you dont have cvsup installed just do a pkg_add -vr cvsup or use sysinstall to install it
- backup your stuffs (i.e your /etc/*, /usr/local/etc/*) - use cvsup to update the latest srcs
cvsup -g -L2 -z /etc/cvsupfile
- say your prayers :p - update the kernel
cd /usr/src make buildkernel make installkernel
- build and install the binaries> cd /usr/src
make buildworld make installworld
- here my cvsupfile # this is /etc/cvsupfile # modded by rosli 20060216 #*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org #*default host=cvsup.sg.freebsd.org *default host=cvsup2.jp.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all *default release=cvs tag=. ports-all # end /etc/cvuspfile - you might want to also merge your /etc files drop to single user mode
init 1 mount -a cd /usr/src mergemaster
