OK, understood.

Is there any other way of getting updates?  The lady who supplied this version doesn't seem to be doing it any more.  http://snakeorladder.com/FreeBSD-armv6-RPI-B.img.gz

(I checked the 9.1-RELEASE announcement and it was only available for the "amd64, i386, powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures."  Needless to say, there hasn't been a 10-RELEASE yet, and I don't know if freebsd-update will do downgrades.)
