Yes, freebsd-update is the way to go... I got it done on my home/test
server.
back in the office where I have one machine on it thou.

Someone has removed the whole 9.1-BETA1 directory/folder/branch making
it impossible for anyone from beta1 to upgrade to rc1 using
freebsd-update even thou I got one server upgraded.
Can we get that restored? If not what is the CVS tag or as I noted what
are the SVN details for rc1?
Thanks

I have just upgraded (an x86_64 VM) from 9.0-RELEASE to 9.1-RC1, using
freebsd-update. Very smooth, and no apparent hitches at all. Thanks to
all concerned, and well done.
One thing (welcome, but puzzling) which surprised me was that my
vboxguest.ko did *not* need to be recompiled. How did the upgrade manage
that?
