 Ah, really? Good news. I heard somewhere there were problems upgrading
  like that across a major version boundary. Or was it to a BETA? That
  might have been it.
 
 AFIK, that was 4.x - 5/6
 OR
 Ports, which are bound to be a problem across
 major versions.*
 Also, 8.x has a recent change which prevents
 easy upgrading from early versions of 5/6(/7?).
 
 In any case, I had no problems upgrading to 7 via
 normal methods as outlined in /usr/src/UPDATING
 for two machines running 6.x

Well, I'm going to give this a try on a machine today.  Thanks for all
the input everyone.

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.

Adam J Richardson

There is nothing wrong with obtaining the source code of 7.X and doing a
full recompile to upgrade your version sanely.

Just use a cvsup file like this and run it with cvsup -g -L 2 cvs-supfile
*default host=cvsup4.us.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7
*default delete
*default compress
*default use-rel-suffix
src-all

After you've obtained the new sourcecode do the following.

`cd /usr/src'   (or to the directory containing your source tree).
`make buildworld'
`make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
`make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE'   (default is GENERIC).
`reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
`mergemaster -p'
`make installworld'
`mergemaster'
`reboot'

After you've obtained the new sourcecode do the following.

`cd /usr/src'   (or to the directory containing your source tree).
`make buildworld'
`make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
`make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE'   (default is GENERIC).
`reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
`mergemaster -p'

Hi all,

I mentioned I'd report back. I followed the usual upgrade instructions 
provided above. Everything built and installed smoothly.


Before:
%uname -rims
FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE i386 GENERIC

After:
%uname -rims
FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE i386 GENERIC

So all seems well. I won't mention ports here, I am just concerned with 
kernel and world for now.


That said... YMMV, #include disclaimer.h, etc
