This is described in the FAQ, IIRC.  Here it is:

The /usr/src/UPDATING file says:

: 20000905:
:         The boot loader has been updated.  The new default kernel is
:         now /boot/kernel/kernel.ko.  The new default module location
:         is /boot/kernel.
:
:         You *MUST* upgrade your boot loader and kernel at the same time.
:         The easiest way to do this is to do the buildworld/buildkernel/
:         installkernel/installworld dance.
:
:         Furthermore, you are urged to delete your old /modules directory
:         before booting the new kernel, since kldload will find stale
:         modules in that directory instead of finding them in the correct
:         path, /boot/kernel.  The most common complaint that this cures
:         is that the linux module crashes your machine after the update.
:
:         if [ ! -d /boot/kernel.old ]; then
:                 mv /modules.old /boot/kernel.old
:                 chflags noschg /kernel.old
:                 mv /kernel.old /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
:                 chflags schg /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
:         fi
