      I upgraded using http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_releng/10.1/i386/pfSense_RELENG_2_2/updates/pfSense-2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT-2g-i386-nanobsd-upgrade-20150604-1932.img.gz
      The system has things mounted read-only too early, sample console output:

      I guess this is some side-issue related to changing the file system to "sync"?
      I am glad this is nanoBSD - very easy to go back to the previous 2.2.2-RELEASE slice :)

        Confirmed the same behaviour with: pfSense-2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT-4g-amd64-nanobsd-upgrade-20150607-0659.img.gz
        Coming from an earlier 2.2.3 snapshot, May 18th.

            Same issue on an APU with the above nanoBSD upgrade image. Coming from 2.2.2-RELEASE.

              Yeah whole nanobsd is broken, x86 or amd64 doesn't matter. Noted on the bug: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4523#change-18702

                To anyone reading this who has some control - when the problem of read-only file system is fixed, then the 32-bit builder also needs to run again. It has stopped producing images the last few days.
                But there is no point restarting the builder until the RO problem is fixed :)

                  The filesystem problem should be fixed.

                    Currently the latest build pfSense-2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT-4g-amd64-nanobsd-upgrade-20150608-1911.img.gz still has this problem. I guess the builder will wake up again soon and make new images…

                    works fine on APU. At the end of the boot it finished up read-only as required.
                    For the record, the mounted stuff is:

                    [2.2.3-DEVELOPMENT][root@Kalikot-rt-01.np.net.inf.org]/root: mount
/dev/ufs/pfsense1 on / (ufs, local, noatime, read-only, synchronous)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ufs/cf on /cf (ufs, local, noatime, read-only, synchronous)
/dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local)
/dev/md1 on /var (ufs, local)
devfs on /var/dhcpd/dev (devfs, local)

                    Now we just need a 32-bit build to happen - I can still only see 32-bit snapshots up to 5 June.

                      32 bit builds are fixed as well now.

                        Confirmed good - I am now running on 32-bit Alix:
