There's an existing guide: http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/upgrade-freebsd.shtml Though it sounds like you've done close to what it says already. The installer supports headless installs. You need to create a file called 'pfi.conf' (for Pre-Flight Installer) and put it on a USB thumb drive or floppy disk or something else that can be mounted and searched. There's an example file at: src/nrelease/installer/etc/defaults/pfi.conf I haven't tried this myself, but it should work.
