So I've learned a ton about how upgrades work. Sadly, the logs from
both the machines are nearly identical. Both of them successfully
download the update, stream it into a new disk, mount it to `/tmp`,
verify it, setup the new disk's `/etc/fstab`, etc.

The only thing that looks bad (to my untrained eye) in the output is this:

```
gpart set -a active -i 1 ad0
gpart: table 'ad0' is corrupt: Operation not permitted
```

Yet, again, that's in the log of the successful upgrade and that of
the unsuccessful upgrade.

I'm trying to understand how FreeBSD does it's boot magic, but I'd
love to hear from you if you know how I can make this thing boot off
the new install, or help me identify why it's not booting the new
install.
