>(As this gentleman is finding out.)
I do upgrades like this:
1) I cvsup the sources with a simple config file
My config file (just plain text)
*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.ORG
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
src-secure
src-crypto
2) I do a shutdown now to go into single user mode
3) then I go into /usr/src and do a make world
4) wait for some while at my system about 2 hours
5) then I go into /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/; there I do a config GENERIC
6) then ../../GENERIC -> make depend -> make -> make install
7) reboot, and yes the system is upgraded
