FreeBSD DomU: Upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0

[G VM]

Forgot this: what is currently working for me is:
FreeBSD vpn-gateway 7.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Fri Oct  2 12:21:39 UTC 2009     root at i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386



Do note that I tried multiple install media and it seemed that nothing above 7.2 was actually working.
