In the FAQ for building a kernel:

After the make, it says to do a make install.
In the section about following stable:

It instead says to backup the old kernel move the new kernel into the
right place.
The second way makes me feel better, knowing that I have a copy of the
old kernel.
Does the "make install" step in the first example do the same thing?
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.
