upgrade 8.2 to 9.0-beta2

You have to upgrade either from source or from the install medium. freebsd-update is not working with 9.0-BETA because they are trying to get users to test the new installer.
 
the new installer is not finding the empty partition, I tried to install from USB stick

how to install the source? because the package is .txz

see link

I have to download and extract to the directory /usr/src ?

No, that's not the way to do it. Start from the handbookand read everything from synchronizing your source to rebuilding world and kernel.
