Upgrading a kernel
Install CVSup
Make and populate the CVSup config file
Update the /usr/src/ tree
Get rid of any old "worlds" and make a new one
Make changes to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and name it was what you want.
Build the kernel, install the kernel, verify it and dot.old in /boot/, run mergemaster, and install the new world.
Note, we often run in a securelevel of 1 and have immutable binaries in the system folders. You'll need to edit rc.conf.
Reboot
Then make things mutable
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui make install distclean
Make and populate the CVSup config file
