And I *specially* recommend reading /usr/src/UPDATING. One needs to install new bootblocks before rebooting a 3.1 kernel, because it has gone elf and 3.0 bootblocks can't deal with it. Userconfig information is being used, one has to use loader(8) to read it. Some things in the kernel configuration file may have changed (I'm not sure about 3.0R->3.1S). I seem to recall that not updating /etc (mergemaster is your friend -- see ports) of a 3.0R results in problems. Also, the optimization flag needed in make.conf is -O. Not more, not less. (If CFLAGS/COPTFLAGS lines are commented, you don't need to do anything.) -- Daniel C.
