In the past I actually used to do installworld before compiling the kernel to avoid the problem *gulp*. This is much better :). > The downside is that the /usr/src make targets always do the complete > rebuild.

Will keep this in mind. Will help if I need to add a kernel option and recompile quickly after upgrading :). Thanks Kent and Mike.
