Description Elias Rohrer 2014-01-30 16:10:02 UTC

When using freebsd-update upgrade / freebsd-update install from 9.2 to 10.0 I encountered a problem because my /boot drive was full. Even though freebsd-update reported it finished successfully, I could see that it failed to copy the kernel to /boot.
After making some space on boot I re-ran freebsd-update install and thought it would perform the same actions, so this time it would work, however it didn't and the machine failed to boot after the update.

Fix: 

It would be nice if freebsd-update would check whether it fails to copy the data to /boot, so one could re-run the command again.
How-To-Repeat: Upgrade from 9.2 to 10.0 with a full /boot drive via freebsd-update.
