Hi, I am using FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p6. This is the output of the freebsd-update fetch command on my system:
Code: 
# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.2-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

The following files will be updated as part of updating to 9.2-RELEASE-p10:

Should I use freebsd-update install or freebsd-update -r 9.2-RELEASE-p10?

Thank you very much.
 
Re: Question about freebsd-update

The former. freebsd-update install will update your system to the latest patchlevel of the release you're running (which would be 9.2-RELEASE-p10), freebsd-update -r xxx will update to a different release version (e.g. 9.3-RELEASE).
 
Re: Question about freebsd-update

There are basically two things you can do with freebsd-update: update the current release that you have to a newer patch level (9.2-RELEASE-p6 to 9.2-RELEASE-p10 for example), or upgrade your current release to a newer release (9.2-RELEASE-p<whatever> to 9.3-RELEASE).

For the first case:
Code: 
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
You have already done the first step, so do the second step to finish.

For the second case (going to a brand new release), you start with:
Code: 
freebsd-update -r 9.3-RELEASE upgrade
and then follow the instructions that it gives you (usually running freebsd-update install one or more times) to finish.
