Did you mean any other steps to take besides running `freebsd-update 
fetch;freebsd-update install`?

I thought freebsd-update takes care of such steps with the exception of 
it does not update itself separately before starting the update and some 
freebsd-update versions have had known bugs that caused issues (fixed by 
updating to a certain version/patch range before upgrading further). My 
attempt to follow changes to freebsd-update then lead me to believe that 
a newer copy can be (manually) downloaded and ran on an older system to 
update it without the need to stop at versions inbetween to pick up 
freebsd-update bugfixes.
