I've thought about setting up a dummy server, just to practice on. Is
this a good idea?
If this is to get a feel for the upgrade process, sure. But if the hardware is
different, you won't be much wiser for the production box in question.

While most of the update process is
waiting for things to complete, mergemaster requires a lot of
responses to a ton of questions about updates to configuration files.
The vast majority of those will be to install the new version.
However,
I need to upgrade a live, production server from 6.3 to 7.1. I can't
afford to have any troubles with this server. I have Absolute FreeBSD
and a few other BSD books, and the upgrade process looks fairly
straightforward. That's the theory...
Real world question: how scared should I be?

Real world question: how
how i do this (but this is probably not politically correct ;)
1) get all files of new version in one place (subdir) say at /7.1
2) separate out manually all configs - it's /etc, /var/namedb and maybe
few more
3) using livecd just put all other files with tar|tar to the place
4) manually
