quick question, is the appropriate method of upgrading as follows:

- make 3 floppies (boot, kern1, kern2) from the "new" version's tree
- reboot from the floppies
- follow the sysinstall's upgrade path?

This isn't explicitly stated in the 
"http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/installation-i386.html", but I 
think this is the procedure that's alluded to.  I've never updated 
before and I'm thinking this might be a good weekend for it.
Thanx,
-Jon
