9.1 -> 9.2 woes

Hi,

I've just upgraded 4 boxes from 9.1 to 9.2 using freebsd-update binary 
upgrade path.

2 went fine, but on reboot 2 still reported uname as 9.1.

|freebsd-update -r 9.2-RELEASE upgrade
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.1-RELEASE from update6.freebsd.org... 
done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 1 metadata patches. done.
Applying metadata patches... done.
Fetching 1 metadata files... done.
Inspecting system... done.

The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
kernel/generic world/base world/lib32

The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
src/src world/doc world/games

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y

After merging files which have changed ( in this case my sshd config)

freebsd-update asks if i want to remove a number of files, ( as these do 
seem to exist on the successful upgrades, i bailed here)

The following file will be removed, as it no longer exists in
FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE: /boot/device.hints
Does this look reasonable (y/n)?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

thanks
Paul.
