Take a look at what make install does in the kernel compile directory...
install:
@if [ ! -f kernel ] ; then \
echo "You must first build your kernel before trying to
install." ; \
exit 1 ; \
fi
chflags noschg /kernel
mv /kernel /kernel.old
install -c -m 555 -o root -g wheel -fschg kernel /
and do a man chflags...
