For what it's worth, I just recently upgraded one of my i386 machines.
I first upgraded to the latest snapshot of 6.2-stable, and then I went
from there to 7.x-current. I just did that on Friday, so I can't say
that I've tested everything yet. But so far I haven't had any problems.
One note: when you build the new 7.x kernel on a 6.x system, you'll
see a number of scary-looking warning messages about:
"kldxref: file isn't dynamically-linked"
but you can ignore those. If those are the only warnings that you
see, then your kernel is probably fine.
