<![CDATA[FreeBSD]]>Hello
Just upgrade my pfsense from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2. Everything seems to be fine by now.
Wanted also to upgrade FreeBSD to a newer one (have 8.1 now). Tried to go through the steps are mentioned here http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/announce.html in the "FreeBSD Upgrade" section but got following errors:

I'm completely noob in bsd systems, but maybe there's someone could help me to solve this issue.
The reason i wanted to upgrade it, besides just having it up-to-date is that i'm running it virtualized with Hyper-V (2008 R2) and starting from FreeBSD 8.2 they've got integration components for it.
Thanks 4wards!

The "beta" is quite stable, we're just about ready to bump it to RC1

And does anybody know if there could be any kind of issues installing Hyper-V components on PfSense's FreeBSD (http://blog.chrisara.com.au/2012/08/hyper-v-integration-components-for_13.html)
It doesn't seem to be providing upgrade to the beta versions, though anyway even if it would i think i better wait until stable version is out.

pfsense is much more than just a pretty webGUI over the base OS, it also contains numerous patches, updated software (e.g. openssl, ipsec-tools, isc dhcpd etc) etc. Check the sources at https://github.com/pfsense

Your best bet (depending on the features you'll be using) would be to upgrade to pfsense 2.1-BETA which is built upon FreeBSD 8.3

Does the 2.1 version have the OS level you need?
