With this in mind, could any one offer some advice as to how to upgrade to 6.1 with freebsd-update?

I will be publishing a similar guide (and maybe a shell script which automates some of it...) for upgrading 6.0 to 6.1 in the near future.

Any tips as to where I might have gone wrong in the meantime? I followed the upgrade instructions for 5.4 - 6.0, just using the 6.1 ISO instead.

I've tried downloading the ISO and doing it that way but 'uname' remains unchanged. You just didn't get the point. freebsd-update is not aimed to upgrade a box from one version to another, but to apply security updates to a release. Make sure you read and understand the following: - http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/ - man freebsd-update 2. How does FreeBSD-Update know which branch to follow (STABLE, CURRENT or RELEASE)? freebsd-update works only on RELEASEs 3. I tried upgrading to 6.1 using the ISO method, and am getting this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]freebsd-update fetch Fetching updates signature... Fetching hash list signature... Examining local system...
