Not yet. My problem is that it's not that easy ... (at least for me, but maybe I'm missing something). The main issue for me is that I don't have a spare box running 7.x. All my FreeBSD boxes are running 6.x I've tried to make a new 7.1-BETA bootable ISO from the patched sources (make release), but failed ... this is the first time I've ever attempted this, and it seems that you cannot do that from a 6.x box (I have a full CVS mirror of FreeBSD, and a fresh checkout of RELENG_7). The next thing to do (which I already tried once, and that was also not an painless path) is to boot the box with FreeBSD-6.1 (amd64, no data corruption here) and upgrade to 7.x patching the sources along the way. I need to find a free afternoon in my agenda to fit this ... I will get back with info as soon as I have done it.
