Hi all,

I recently did the following:

installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 from the iso
cvsup'd the source (using tag=RELENG_5_2)
followed section 19 of the handbook
followed section 8 for the kernel rebuild and did a custom kernel
(placing in /root/kernels and linking it, as per section 8.3)
everything went well
did a mergmaster and didn't accept any changes (it was a fresh system)
rebooted and logged in
did uname -v and got the same output as before all the above (Feb
build date (5.2.1, right?), reference to GENERIC kernel not my custom
kernel - my search of the list archives tells me it should show the
local machine and a recent date in this output)

Do I need to update somewhere to tell the system to boot the new
kernel? If so, I totally missed that in the handbook (whoops).

This also leads me to ask how one best confirms the system has "changed?"

Thanks in advance for any help,

August
