If you were planning to do a cvsup to -current before doing that you
shouldn't do it that way the first time.  The time_t type was changed
after the 5.2.1-RELEASE came out.  For the first pass at doing an
upgrade read and follow /usr/src/UPDATING.64BTT.

After you are past the 64-bit time_t transition the above procedure
works fine.  I do it all the time, except that you don't need to
include KERNCONF=GENERIC (that's the default).
