Heh--I bet ya got lazy and didn't look at UPDATING. There's a few things t= hat will have to be done, fairly well covered there, such as copying device.hin= ts to /boot, and some kind of make install while in /boot (I've forgotten as I di= d=20 this awhile back and am, at present, too lazy to look myself.) Seriously, take a good look towards the bottom of /usr/src/UPDATING and loo= k at the instructions for upgrading.
