        Upgrade should work but backup your config.xml at diagnostics>backup/restore just for the case it breaks. Also downloading the 1.0.1 LiveCD before attempting the upgrade is recommended.

            It should work and I have heard from several people that it works flawlessly. It's just to be up in minutes again in case something breaks.

                  If things like this happen on an upgraded system I strongly recommend a reinstall. Backup your config.xml and restore it after reinstalling.

                    pfctl: DIOCSETSTATUSIF indicates a interface is present in the XML configuration but for some reason PF is not seeing the interface.  You may want to reset to factory defaults.
