Even if it works - using the old system's sysinstall is not the suggested way
for binary upgrades!!

	Important: These notes assume that you are using the version of
	sysinstall(8) supplied with the version of FreeBSD to which you
	intend to upgrade. [...] The most commonly made mistake in this
	regard is the use of an old copy of sysinstall(8) from an
	existing installation to upgrade to a newer version of FreeBSD.
	This is not recommended.  

Boot floppies or any thing are needed!!
