Hmmm...this could have gone better for me:

To install the downloaded upgrades, run "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install".
root at boonen:~ # freebsd-update install
Installing updates...chflags: ///var/empty: Read-only file system

Normally, freebsd-update returns a reboot-and-proceed message at this
point. Also, this system has no /var/empty partition.

How to proceed?

Thanks!
