My normal approach for doing this is to build all the way to
ISO images, and then copy the sysinstall off the first one to
/tmp, then mount the first one on /mnt, cd to /tmp (as root),
and run sysinstall (you have to name it sysinstall) and select
"upgrade".
If you can't build to ISO's from sources, then it's probably
not something you want to upgrade to anyway.
The only things I've seen this miss are:
1) bootblocks
You can do these manually, after the upgrade, before you
reboot
2) /etc/pam.conf
This screwed me on ssh logins, and only on the 4.3/4.4
era upgrade, where they added the entries for ssh to
the file
3) /dev/MAKEDEV all
It wasn't run unless you booted from the upgrade media;
with devfs, this isn't a problem.
