I have a remote host that has not been on or available for several years.  It just came back up and I need to upgrade it.

FreeBSD waldo.remotesupportservicesllc.com 8.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Sep 27 18:07:27 UTC 2011     root at i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386


Freebsd-update does not work:

waldo# freebsd-update upgrade -r 11.1-RELEASE
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
waldo# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

Is there a way to make that work?
