Errm, so don't install from cd. You have a working 6.1 system. Use csup
with /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile as your template, set a real
host, change tag to RELENG_7_0, change prefix to /usr/RELENG_7_0/src,
mkdir -p /usr/RELENG_7_0/src and get the source
csup -L2 /path/to/standard-supfile.
Format the new disk using the chapter on this topic from the handbook and make
sure the slice is bootable. Mount the drive's root on /mnt, usr and var and
whatever else you had partitions made for below that and read the entry in
UPDATING under COMMON ITEMS that describes "To cross-install current onto a
seperate partition".

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
