Sounds like you are rebooting with the old kernel in the /
directory instead of the new kernel which is now in the
/boot/kernel directory.

If you interrupt the boot loader by hitting SPACE, you can then
type 'unload' and then 'load /boot/kernel/kernel' then 'boot'
which will boot the new kernel.

I've never done the upgrade path, so I'm not sure how you are
supposed to avoid this problem.  Maybe you are doing things in
the wrong sequence or skipping steps?
