I've just got 5.2.1-RELEASE running on my Ultra10 without problems. I'm wondering if it's safe to cvsup and do:

cd /usr/src make -j4 buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC make installworld mergemaster fastboot portupgrade -arP

Is this sane on the Sparc64 platform? I'm familiar with this process on i386.

That's not quite the documented upgrade procedure even on i386 (see the handbook). On sparc64 you'll need to do more to update to 5.2-CURRENT; see the UPDATING instructions (part of that documented upgrade procedure I mentioned :-).
