My question is, : after booting the new kernel, do I run MAKEDEV immediately, or do I run : make world before runnning MAKEDEV? Would it be prudent to disable : softupdates until after I'm done upgrading? I'd do the MAKEDEV stuff, as described in UPDATING, before you did the reboot for the make world. It likely doesn't matter much, but you are better off safe than sorry. : Would it be simpler to install from the latest -current snap? Maybe.
