Was the 3.0-RELEASE I got ~Dec 30 aout kernel? 'file /kernel' gives

  /kernel:         unknown pure executable

but 'strings /kernel | grep -i elf' gives

  FreeBSD ELF

among other stuff.

So far, I just did 'make world' in /usr/src/, updated my
config per GENERIC diff, and built the kernel. The warning
to look at http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html on
make install has me wondering if 'make world' was the right
thing to do in the 1st place, and wondering whether and
how to update my bootblock.

As far as my newcomer to freebsd upgrade experience, the
info I wound up getting from people (not some 'how-to'
easy-upgrade web page) was:

  - need to see req'd changes to /etc by inspecting cvsup output
  - need to update config file by looking at diff of GENERIC
  - need to figure how to do the diff since GENERIC was replaced
