I upgraded one of my beasts[1] at home yesterday. I installed 2.6 on it ages
ago, and yesterday I installed the 2.9 snapshot on it by sucking down all
the tgz files, and the bsd one, and going:

        for i in *.tgz; do sudo tar xzpf $i -C /; done
        sudo mv /bsd /bsd.old
        sudo mv bsd /

You probably want to rename the etcXX.tgz, and do that by hand. I wanted to
overwrite the files in /etc, so I left it in. I created /etc/rc.conf.local
and rebooted. Not a single problem.

The ports tree is nice, but it's not the OS.

[1] 486-80MHz, 8MB RAM, 2GB disk. Running GENERIC gives me 3MB free RAM.
