I would try the following: 1. get 7.x source tree. 2. make buildworld && make buildkernel 3. mv /boot/kernel /boot/kernel6 4. make installkernel 5. reboot, boot with "-s" 6. mount your filesystems, do some io testing. If everything looks well, you can then make installworld and hopefully things proceed safely. -Alfred
