Read /usr/src/UPDATING. Last time I looked, here's
what it said:

(assuming you are still running a generic kernel)

cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
<reboot into single user>
fsck -p
mount -o rw /
swapon -a
mount -a
cd /usr/src
make installworld
mergemaster

If "make installkernel" fails because the old kernel can't be renamed,
do that bit in single user mode as well, and reboot again.
