Hi ..
Is there documentation on how to do a kernel upgrade? I am looking at going from 5.3 to 5.4 and I am pretty sure that steps are:
(1) upgrade the /usr/src tree (2) recomple the kernel (3) install the new kernel
I am not sure of the best or official way of doing (1). Plus, am I missing something essential, like support libraries, changes in the boot process, etc.?
Section 19 in the handbook has all the details: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
19.4 details the process of actually building everything.
Additionally, appendix A has details on how to update your source: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html

Any help appreciated.
