Having just done it with "make install" for the first time, I'd always
copied and moved it manually, it looks like it saves the previous
kernel as /obsd.

it actually replaces the kernel atomically by doing

mv /path/to/new/bsd /nbsd && rm /obsd && ln bsd obsd && mv nbsd bsd

so even when the power goes out somewhere in between, you always have a valid /bsd.

Should all documentation suggest the "make install", or is there a reason that the docs for following stable show a different way of doing it?
