Well, that's a loaded question. It depends largely on your hardware. See 8.5's upgrade instructions and/or release notes pertaining to the compact flash size requirements (256MB CF). Also, it's generally recommended to undergo incremental version upgrades, say, no more than 3 versions at a time (ie. 7.1 to 7.4, etc). Also, if you're going to go all the way to 8.5, I'd recommend making your way to 8.4R2.4 first, THEN going to 8.5R1.14 if your hardware can handle it. 8.5 involves a significant upgrade in the underlying FreeBSD operating system (see release notes again) and partition layout, and 8.4 to 8.5R1.14 is your best bet if you're going to go that far. I ran into issues on T-series when trying to go from 8.2 to 8.5. At any rate, checking Release Notes for each incremental upgrade you do can save your bacon.
