The installkernel command you gave should install a kernel named /MERCURY and new modules in /modules. You either need to follow the insturctions in UPDATING to replace /kernel with MERCURY or edit your /boot/loader.conf to book /MERCURY instead of /kernel. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
