You should be able to connect to your server (new ssh session) because at
this stage freebsd-update is installing the new kernel.
Then just repeat the freebsd-update install step and you should be fine and
continue with it following the steps listed in the handbook
Also screen (1) can be your friend for doing things on remote servers.
