Perhaps a cd- or bsd.rd-based upgrade can do 3.6 -> 3.9 but I haven't
tried and won't. AFAIK, skipping releases is unsupported, but maybe I've
been reading the upgrade guides one too many times and has this
-unsuspectingly- become my new mantra.

If it's a remotely managed machine, try following the aforementioned
upgrade guides. DON'T skip releases in that case!

HTH... Nico
