Maybe I'm confused, but I thought freebsd-update installed precompiled=20
binaries of the generic kernel and world.  Therefore, you would need to=20
reboot if the kernel changed.  Freebsd-update should tell you what will be =

changed after it finishes the fetch.  I don't recall if it also tells you=20
what it installed.
