freebsd stable - Dec 2006 - Canonical 4.x to 6.x upgrade docs?

Hi all,

I'm about to hit a number of machines with 6.2-RC2 since we're nearing
the
release.  Many of course are remote, so shuffling CDs around and the like 
is not practical.

I've not been able to find anything in the handbook or FAQ about the 
process, and Google is returning very few interesting results.

This thread contains a few links to rse's procedure:

http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.stable/browse_thread/thread/c4c9ccb11b3bfb6b/02a2ffbee370c813

Is there any official doc on this?  Perhaps I'm just not finding it?  I 
would assume since everyone is being urged to get away from 4.x that 
somewhere there's a good step-by-step on how to do that.

Thanks,

Charles

That is the one I used (or perhaps I used it from 5.3-RELEASE, but
should be the same), when I recently upgraded a system 4->5->6.  The
5->6 should be pretty much like any other FreeBSD upgrade, just follow
the normal documented upgrade procedure and don't skip steps.  My
upgrade actually turned out to be pretty painless and just work.
