Yipe, 1.1.5.1?  This is before my entry into FreeBSD.  

Usually, you copy your old kernel to 'kernel.old', then copy the new one
into /.  In 2.x, 'make install' from the kernel directory does this for
you.

I don't know if the older boot blocks support this, but you can type '?'
and get a ls of the root directory.
