Re: 11.4 to 12.0-RELEASE (was: Problem updating from 11.4 to 12.whatever)

Thanks.

I did manage to get the system "running", but it was still unable to be
further upgraded
because freebsd-update was still confused.  I ended up installing 12.2 from
DVD,
and then upgraded that to 13.0, so I won't have to go through this again
for a while.

Fortunately only the OS lives on the "root" disk; all the data is on a zfs
pool on different
disks.
