I was referring to this section that I now quote:
"Final steps
Whether you upgrade by using an install kernel and doing a
formal "upgrade" process, or do a "in-place" binary upgrade,
there are certain manual steps that have to be performed."
If we look further and read what it means to do an install kernel
and formal upgrade we get:
"Upgrading by install kernel
If you have access to the system's console, the easiest and
safest way to upgrade is to boot from install media or
bsd.rd and follow the upgrade steps, which are very similar
to the install process. Afterwards, complete the upgrade by
following the final steps as detailed below."
But no worries, if you got it all worked out. To not, I only use the
default section in /etc/ttys because I'm on x86 hardware that does not
have this issue. It is by far, not the most universally compatible
method though and I would suggest sticking with what the FAQ's say on
that matter.
Good luck with the rest of your upgrade.
