Thank you for sending us the report about the missing links. Unfortunately, the link you provided is part of the release installation documentation, which can not be changed after the release is done.

If you want to know how to update FreeBSD, you can find the information in the "Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD" chapter of the handbook:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html

We also have the german version available as a translation if you prefer:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/de_DE.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html

If you have further questions about the upgrade process, you can post questions on the freebsd mailing-lists, forums or open another PR in case you experience a specific problem. You can also contact me directly if you prefer.
