named is now chroot()ed to /var/named after it parses the command line but 
before it reads the config file. As such, it is necessary to have this 
directory structure. You can override its location with the 
"named_chrootdir" rc.conf variable or by using -t at the command line if 
you invoke named using your own scripts.

In our test environment, we migrated a good chunk of the domains that we 
host on BIND8 to BIND9 with minimal work. The instructions listed in 
UPDATING did the trick!
