FreeBSD Update

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.[01234]-RELEASE,
8.[01]-RELEASE, 8.2-BETA1, or 8.2-RC[123] can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.2-RELEASE
During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging some
configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging
was done correctly.

# freebsd-update install
The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing.

# shutdown -r now
After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new
userland components:

# freebsd-update install
At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE or
earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update to rebuild all third-party
applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in
system libraries.

After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if
freebsd-update printed a message indicating that this was necessary), run
freebsd-update again so that it can delete the old (no longer used) system
libraries:

# freebsd-update install
Finally, reboot into 8.2-RELEASE:

# shutdown -r now
