I think for 1.6.2 -> 1.7.x you need a full buildworld. However, after a 
full buildworld, you can first try a quickworld. Please read the 
build(7) man page for more info on our build targets.

You can use this snapshot instead of getting the source with cvsup. 
However, you will still need a full buildworld.

No. The boot sector is not affected by the upgrade.
