 the name of the upgrade process? bsdtar isn't running according
 to ps -aux

Update: the system crashed, and had to be rebooted manually.
It shows version 1.2.2 again.

I can upload the tarball manually to /root :

pfsense:~#  md5 /root/pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-RC3.tgz 
MD5 (/root/pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-RC3.tgz) = 3f5fe57bb12d376a2817ecc5bc8e601e

Is there a way to start the update manually, without
the web interface?

 Aargh -- you might have found the real culprit there.
 Unfortunately, meanwhile I figured out that the error
 message was due to a corrupt /etc/rc.upgrade (read error,
 I presume the flash is fried). I've copied it over from
 a known good 1.2.2 installation, and tried the console
 upgrade from URL. Watching bsdtar, and praying, here.
 
 Damn, bsdtar just died (or finished correctly), and the
 firewall is now rebooting. Wish me luck.

The firewall did come up correctly, though of course I
have no way to tell whether the upgrade process checked the
integrity of the upgrade before rebooting.

Given filesystem or flash corruption I should probably redo
everything with 1.2.3 final, using a fresh 4 GByte flash.

How far from production is 2.0 meanwhile? I presume RC1 won't
come this year yet?
