That being said I will add that using the boot.flp to upgrade to 3.0 and
ELF was painless for me with the exception of a clobbered /root/.profile.

I had previously tried to use 'cvsup' and 'make world' to upgrade from
2.2-STABLE but my builds were dying on errors from the assembler. As I am
not a super-hacker, I gave up an used the boot.flp. It worked great. After
getting 3.0 installed from the boot.flp my 'make world' now builds to
completion.

I can recommend using the boot.flp to upgrade based on my little bit of
experience.
