All you need to do is rebuild your kernel:
1. use old kernel build method (only use if /usr/src has been updated since
last build/installworld).
cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
make depend
make
make install
2. use new kernel build method (after a buildworld)
make buildkernel
make installkernel
or just do:
make kernel
If your updating the sources (/usr/src), you should use cvs from a local
source repository (install the cvsup-mirror port), instead of cvsup. As
cvsup will either overrite your changes or fail to update the file. When
you use cvs, it will merge your changes with the updated file.
