I was able to upgrade FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE to 15.1-BETA2 with ZFS Boot
Environments like that:
host # uname -prism
FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE amd64 amd64 GENERIC
Create '/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf' file with following contents.
host # cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD-base: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_1";,
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-${VERSION_MAJOR}",
enabled: yes
}
Update pkg(8) databases.
host # pkg update -f
Create new ZFS BE and chroot(8) into it.
host # beadm create NEW
host # beadm mount NEW /tmp/NEW
host # chroot /tmp/NEW/
BE # mount -t devfs devfs /dev
First upgrade pkg(8) tool.
BE # pkg upg -r FreeBSD-ports pkg
Then upgrade FreeBSD Base System with PKGBASE.
BE # pkg upg -r FreeBSD-base
BE # exit
host # umount /tmp/NEW/dev
host # beadm list
BE Active Mountpoint Space Created
default NR / 630.2M 2026-03-13 13:29
NEW - /tmp/NEW 854.2M 2026-05-09 23:15
host # reboot
At loader(8) hit '8. Boot Environments' and then hit '2. Active' to see
something like this there:
2. Active: zfs:zroot/ROOT/NEW (2 of 2)
Then hit [ENTER].
After boot you will se 15.0-RELEASE upgraded to 15.1-BETA2 system.
host # uname -prism
FreeBSD 15.1-BETA2 amd64 amd64 GENERIC
hope that helps.
