Agreed. Thank You for suggestions. I added UPDATE 1 with information how to do upgrade w/o modifying the config files: - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2026/05/10/freebsd-pkgbase-minor-upgrades#UPDATE1 I also added additional info about updating boot code - both 'BIOS' and 'UEFI'. One thing that bothers me ... This: host # pkg -o ABI=FreeBSD:15:$(uname -m) \ -o OSVERSION=1501000 \ --chroot=/tmp/NEW \ upgrade ... as I specify '-o OSVERSION=1501000' option for pkg(8) ... why '-o ABI=FreeBSD:15:$(uname -m)' is also needed to make it work? The '15' part or '${ARCH}' part does not change ... I mean - I know this is a pkg(8) design decision - just do not see logic in it. Regards, vermaden
