I'll take a stab at this.

According to the article "Maintaining Patch Levels With Open Source BSDs"
you need to do the following:

cd /sys/i386/conf
config KERNELNAME
cd ../../compile/KERNELNAME
make depend && make all install && reboot

It appears that you aren't performing a "make all install" just "make install".

The article can be found at http://www.samag.com/archive/0809/feature.shtml and I keep a copy next to my computer at work and at home!
