I have successfully upgraded form FreeBSD 8.1 to FreeBSD 8.2. Here were my
steps:
cvsup /root/stable-supfile
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
shutdown -r now
*select single user mode*
mount -u /
zfs mount -a
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster
gpart
My upgrades were a success. I upgraded 3 machines:
1. 7.1 - 7.4
2. 8.0 - 8.1
3. 7.1 - 7.3 - 7.4
I don't use STABLE, but rather e.g. RELENG_7_4

Can I update directly from 6.2 to 7.3? like set RELENG_7_3 in supfile and
