Just FYI, I had a FreeBSD box that was running 2.0-RELEASE, with munged binaries in a couple of places to allow me to run a 2.1-stable kernel on it. I downloaded the 2.1-stable source tree a month or two ago once I got more disk space. Made a new kernel, rebooted using it, then ran `make world' in /usr/src. Apart from 2 hiccups (which were easly fixed if you read the error and go look at what's happening) it worked fine. So (with a small bit of work) it's possible to bootstrap from 2.0R!
