I did this by downloading the 3.3 source and doing a make world. The kernel was deleted and on reboot I specified boot kernel.generic. I next went to compile a kernel, which I have done many times. After a make install, I rebooted and encounted the message fatal trap rebooting in 9, 8, 7 .... After this I tried to boot to kernel.generic and the OS said kernel module already loaded. What happened? Is this just a basically bad way to upgrade, and is there a better way to upgrade? Also, is there another way to boot to a different kernel without introducing another file system.
