There is an issue with doing NanoBSD (the embedded image) upgrades from 2.0.X to 2.1 that can cause /var to fill up. The fallout effect of this causes the interfaces to not come up. If you search the mailing list archives you will see that it has hit other people and that workarounds are required to upgrade and save the RRD data.
