Description Patrick Oonk 2008-10-31 15:10:04 UTC 
freebsd-update stops when run on a nfs mounted root on a netbooted machine.

Fix: 

around line 2398 of freebsd-update:

mount -d / | grep ": mount_ufs"
if test $? = 0
then
chflags noschg ${BASEDIR}/${F} || return 1
fi
How-To-Repeat: run freebsd-update on a netbooted machine
