Thanks vermaden

It's possible to do this without modifying the config files using `-o ABI=...  -o OSVERSION=1501000 ...`

People should also update ports (to get latest pkg), also kmods if required.

### get latest pkg(8) for 15.0-RELEASE
# pkg upgrade -yr FreeBSD-ports pokg

### now in your BE

### update any kmods for new system
# pkg -o ABI=FreeBSD:15:(sysctl -n hw.machine_arch) -o OSVERSION=1501000 upgrade -yr FreeBSD-ports-kmods
### update base system
# pkg -o ABI=FreeBSD:15:(sysctl -n hw.machine_arch) -o OSVERSION=1501000 upgrade -yr FreeBSD-base

I always update EFI boot loader / BIOS boot blocks.
