I have updated from 4.2-release to stable myself and it works like a dream. make sure that /usr/obj as empty as the handbook suggests, and that you do a make buildworld seperately from a make installworld following that, re config your kernel makefile directory as laid out in the handbook using the new version of config, and then do a make depend make make install in your kernel compilation area (something like) /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/{kernel name} these instructions arent my any stretch of the imagination complete, but if you follow the instructions as laid out by http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html you should be fine. as an aside (and not directed at anyone), i'm surprised at the number of people that mail the stable list quoting updating the system as 'make world' make world went out a while ago, and while it may still work fine, the handbook says make buildworld make installworld so thats what I use and recommend.
