Folks-

  I've ran into problem upgrading to -current from RELENG_4 after the
'make installkernel' process.  One the kernel was installed, I rebooted.
However, the old 4.7 kernel was loaded instead of the new -current
kernel.  I read from the archive about how the old /modules directory
can cause problems, when loading the 5.x kernel, but that's not the
issue since the wrong kernel was loaded in the first place.  Now, when I
forced /boot/kernel/kernel, the system failed completely. (No error
message, the loading never occurred as the whole system froze.)  Could
that have been from the old /modules directory?

  Anyways, the question is when doing an upgrade, what's the best method
to update the loader?  It isn't installed by default. (From what I could
tell)
