Re: binary upgrade of a remote box

Is binary upgrade from 8.2 to 8.4 not supported any more?

Why do I keep getting "Fetching metadata signature for 8.4 from
update6.freebsd.org... failed." ?

WARNING: This system is running a "fw" kernel, which is not a

This kernel will not be updated: you MUST update the kernel manually
before running "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install".

The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:

The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
world/catpages world/dict world/doc world/games world/info
world/proflibs

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y
