I found, that "freebsd-update install" doesn't upgrade
all files in /boot. At least the loader binary was
zero:

 > ls -lh boot/loader*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 tom  wheel     0B Oct  2 22:54 loader
-r--r--r--  1 tom  wheel     0B Oct  2 22:54 loader.4th
-rw-r--r--  1 tom  wheel    15B Jun  5  2012 loader.conf
-r--r--r--  1 tom  wheel    14k Jan  3  2012 loader.help
-r--r--r--  1 tom  wheel     0B Oct  2 22:54 loader.rc

the / partition was not full! I copied the /boot directory
from an other 9.1 machine and could boot the machine.
But the server is still running FreeBSD 9.1. Any ideas
what is wrong?
