Good to know I'm not screwed, that I can recover simply by rerunning csup, this
time with RELENG_9_0 instead of RELENG_9.
But I hadn't got to making buildworld yet on this update.
Possibly there may be no serious difference between 9.0-PRERELEASE and 9.0-RC2
at this stage.
As for the difference between STABLE and RELEASE, I believe STABLE is a sort of
POSTRELEASE, like the post-release update to NetBSD 5.1 that permitted access
to Linux ext2fs partition that didn't work previously with NetBSD; inode was
256 bytes.
I think FreeBSD 9-STABLE (RELENG_9) would be development work toward FreeBSD
9.1, after FreeBSD 9.0 is released, but stabler than current/head.
I looked in /usr/src/sys/conf/newvars.sh and indeed found that I had
9.0-PRERELEASE rather than RC2.
