»Just«? I guess I'll practice upgrading to current on another system
first. Can one run a current kernel on base system of 1.6.2?
Shouldn't the base system be upgraded to current too?

In fact I'm trying NetBSD on a system which is running FreeBSD 4.9 now.
Just it has a little instability. So I thought I'll try NetBSD.
But current is probably not too stable, is it?
