When doing upgrades across major versions, it's always a good idea to compile and install GENERIC. Get things installed and working, then compile a custom kernel.
Also, you can use
KODIR=/boot/testkernel on the installkernel command to install the kernel to a separate directory. Then you can use the
nextboot(8) command to test boot that kernel. If it doesn't work, a reboot will use the previously working kernel.

My kernel config:
Code:
$ cat RELNKERN7
cpu HAMMER
ident GENERIC

The ident line has to match the name of the kernel config file.
