Can you point me to the manual process to create a new boot environment and upgrade? I am sure I have seen it somewhere, the auto upgrade is not completing on my Toshiba Tecra M9. Otherwise any other ideas welcome.
Update Manager halts with the message "Unable to clone the current boot environment" and running manually using "pfexec pkg image-update" has the same output, suggesting a problem with be_mount failing to mount the the new BE, claiming the temporary "/tmp/.be.LQaGAd" directory was not empty.
