I've followed the upgrade portion of the FAQ each time. This time the relevant doc would be: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade42.html

I'm not trying to do a recompilation of the entire source, just the kernel. Once I'm booted into the new RAIDFrame aware kernel I can mount my array and finish the install according to upgrade42.html.

This is interesting. Please, tell me where it is documented how to
source-upgrade from release to release? I've done so too, several
times in the past, but I thought ("knew") I would do a binary reinstall
if I botch the thing.

It didn't happen and after I tried binary upgrades, I don't miss trying
and sweating through a source upgrade (OK, I wasn't *that* hard).
Upgrading by source is like going from -release to -current (just
not to _current_ "-current" ;-) - you have to expect to deal with the
unforeseen.

Absolutely. And -misc has always provided me with that one clue I needed.
