I've read the FAQ's, but haven't been able to figure out how to upgrade my 
2.0.5 system to 2.1.

Specifically, can I run some sort of installer from within my currently running
system, (as opposed to using the FreeBSD boot/install floppy, the latest versionof which causes my machine to reboot ten seconds into the boot process)? Ideally, I'd like to run the installer and install on a separate hard disk via FTP ot
NFS.
