Hi!
I managed to recover and am running 7-CURRENT now.
The morale of the story is
1.disable fancy drivers and scripts for binary compatibilites before
proceeding
2. Prepare a backup
3. READ UPDATING
4. use unload all when building and after rebooting with the new kernel.
Use GENERIC at first, then your kernel. Backup 2-3 good kernels.
5. recompile ports with the new system.
6. Don't diddle with the upgrade process - let it run
Have a good one!

Mergemaster grunts "cannot cd to /usr/src/etc and install files to
temproot", when booting in single mode and trying to update the files.
cap_mkdb quits on "-l" option passed by another program.
I saw
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/077661.html
and will fight it these days.
Finally I tried upgrading from cd and got with kernel panic at the
end. I will give the file tomorrow - I'm too exhausted now.
Anyway 6.0 will be superb
Have a good one,
Dimitar
