This is most likely not exactly what you are after, but:
Earlier in the week I put a message to -stable asking how to upgrade a
minimal install of a system that runs entirely from USB key. This key
was running 6.2.
Using a host build machine running 7.0, setting DESTDIR accordingly, and
configuring numerous NO_* in /etc/make.conf, I was not only able to
achieve my minimal install using buildworld etc process, I was able to
upgrade it to stable sources from this morning successfully.
I'm now off to upgrade a box that is actually _running_ 6.2, and I'll
report back with any details.
