this one appears to work (and yes, I should have figured it out from the man page): root@kg-vm2# freebsd-update -r 8.4-RELEASE upgrade Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 8.3-RC2 from update5.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/base src/bin src/cddl src/contrib src/crypto src/etc src/games src/gnu src/include src/krb5 src/lib src/libexec src/release src/rescue src/sbin src/secure src/share src/sys src/tools src/ubin src/usbin world/base world/doc world/games world/lib32 world/manpages The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed: world/catpages world/dict world/info world/proflibs Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y Fetching metadata signature for 8.4-RELEASE from update5.freebsd.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Fetching 1 metadata patches. done. Applying metadata patches... done. Fetching 1 metadata files... done. Inspecting system... done.
