Stuck at freebsd-update fetch

HelpUpdate

I tried updating today and it says "The following files will be removed as a part of updating to 13.0-Release-p13"
And then a list of files.
It doesnt give me any options to continue though, at the end it just says [END} And I cant type anything

I havent updated this device in a few years, and it wont boot into the WM because I updated the files before the OS, and its no longer c ompatable it seems. I use ICEwm.

Please help
 
I should add, without the updated OS it says "kld i915kms.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch linker_load_file: /boot_modules/i915kms.ko - unsupported file type"

Take a look in the Handbook on the website, look for how to upgrade to a new MAJOR version of FreeBSD. It should get you to 14.x.

Im at this step "The merging process requires some user intervention as a file may be merged or an editor may appear on screen for a manual merge. The results of every successful merge will be shown to the user as the process continues. A failed or ignored merge will cause the process to abort."

How do I merge it or can I just ignore this. It put me in a VI editor

"the following file could not be merged automatically: /etc/group"
Also should I skip the "nextboot" thing as I dont believe I am using a "custom kernel"??
