On: FreeBSD 13.1 Beta 1

So you have to read the manpage of freebsd-update, understand it, and then find the version name in another document... After a while I think that this is it :

    sudo freebsd-update upgrade -r 13.1-RELEASE
    sudo freebsd-update install

It would be nice if these two lines appeared in the release notes.

First you left out some pretty important commands and steps.

Second RTFM!

> … release notes.

The notes exist, but only in draft form; a skeleton.

I drafted the corresponding pull request around the time of the PRERELEASE, which preceded the first beta.

I should not treat notes as final until RELEASE occurs.

Usually if you have a working freebsd system you know the handbook exist and you refer to it for that kind of instructions.
