Going to 3.0 was no more difficult than upgrading to any other major
release. I seem to recall that you couldn't move your /etc files
directly from 2.1 to 3.0. I think you should print out your fstab,
rc, and rc.local and use those as a basis for hacking the 3.0 version
of those files, rather than copying them directly over.
Keep in mind, also, that some of the stuff that used to be in /etc
is now (with 3.0) in /usr/etc.
We have not yet upgraded to Symmetry (req was just signed off recently)
so I can't give you any hints there. Maybe in a month or so.
