FreeBSD: How to update without network?












0















My home FreeBSD system seems to have some hardware issues with one of its network cards. Fortunately the box has a second network card which however is not supported in the FreeBSD release running right now (9.3-RELEASE) but works with the most recent 12.0 system (checked with a live system from an installation USB - BTW, no CD/DVD in the box).



Updating to 12.0 would solve my problems but with my current FreeBSD version I'm stuck with 2 non-functioning ethernet cards.



Is there any way to update (not reinstall) the system to 12.0 without a network connection?
