From the release notes of 6.0-BETA2: "Source upgrades to FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT are only supported from FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE or later. Users of older systems wanting to upgrade 6.0-CURRENT will need to update to FreeBSD 5.3 or newer first, then to FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT."

At minimum, by trying to upgrade in place you'll not get UFS2 partitions. And unless you've bumped the default partition sizes since you installed 4.x, you'll probably not be happy with life in a 6-stable world. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
