1. use cvsup to update the source tree
2. go into /usr/src and do a 'make buildworld'
3. in the same directory, do a 'make buildkernel' then a 'make installkernel' (if you have securelevel >=1, you'll need to disable that before 'make installkernel')
4. reboot
5. go into /usr/src again and do a 'make installworld'
6. run mergemaster to update files under /etc
This is intended for upgrading from a closer release, eg., from 4.7 to 4.8, etc. If you want to upgrade from 4.x to 5.x, I'd say forget it.
Let me know if you have problems ...
