Hi Jay,
This isn't a recommendation or anything, but I did manage to upgrade one
of my boxes from 6.3-SOMETHING to 7.0-BETA4 using the standard make
{build{world,kernel},install{kernel,world}} process. I didn't have any
problems with it, but it's not a supported method, so only do this if
you're a crazy like me with no regard for his data. Actually you're
probably best off backing up all your data and doing a clean install.
Since I'm a crazy with no regard for his data, I'm doing it again
tonight, this time to 7.0-RELEASE with a GENERIC kernel. I'll let you
know how it goes.
YMMV
#include <disclaimer.h>
etc.
