Heh--I bet ya got lazy and didn't look at UPDATING. There's a few things that will have to be done, fairly well covered there, such as copying device.hints to /boot, and some kind of make install while in /boot (I've forgotten as I did this awhile back and am, at present, too lazy to look myself.) Seriously, take a good look towards the bottom of /usr/src/UPDATING and look at the instructions for upgrading. Also, take them seriously when they say (somewhere else, possibly the early deployment guide) don't use the shortcuts that you are used to using.
