Hey,
The system was running 6.3-STABLE and is now running 7.1-STABLE (most
FreeBSD.org systems run -STABLE to help out with testing.
I'm using normal buildworld, buildkernel etc. for the upgrade itself.
After upgrading to the new kernel the system ran about an hour on the
new kernel with the old userland to be able to go back in case it blew
up. Before booting in the new kernel I shut inetd(rsync) / cvsupd to
stop new incomming connections in the hope that the existing one would
close down nicely first, but after an hour I rebooted. In short,
notthing much special compared to what I would consider normal FreeBSD
sysadm tasks.
Not sure if this was what you were asking about.
