you may want to try starting from a -current snapshot.  last time i used 
1.5ZA (200202?? something like that).  the upgrade goes quite smoothly from 
ZA to ZC.  

one thing though, etcupdate didn't move /etc/ssh_host* to /etc/ssh/ . so ssh 
didn't restart after the rebot ::oops::  other than that, everything worked 
like a charm.
