What I have always done is a "manual" upgrade:
1. Back up.
2. Boot in single user mode
3. # mount -a -t ffs
4. For each fileset except etcXX.tgz and xetcXX.tgz, issue:
# tar xpzf <fileset> -C /
5. Using etcXX.tgz and xetcXX.tgz, manually update /etc and /var, and make
any other changes, per the upgrade FAQ. The mergemaster port/package
makes this fairly quick and easy.
