FWIW I've had no problems following the source upgrade instructions - they were very successful. The only issue I came across was one of my own making: I used a second drive to install copies of /, /usr to manage upgrades (much like solaris' liveupdate) and wound up with a ufs2 /, which my original bootloader (from the 3.x days) didn't grok.
