Two newbie questions about upgrading from 4.2 to STABLE.

1) Do I need to build anything else besides the latest in /usr/src/sys?
I have been able to buld this source and boot the kernel. But I
cannot get ipfw to work on the new kernel.

It complains of not being able to do the set_sockopt call. The
kernel is configured for

INET
IPFIREWALL 
IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
IPDIVERT

and the ipv6 variants.

Just like the 4.2 one was.

2) Do I need to update the /sbin/ipfw command with the latest stable
kernel version?

If so,  do I need to bring over ALL of /usr/src to compile one
command? It doesn't compile when I try a make in /usr/src/sbin/ipfw.

What I would like is to do a cvsup of only a few necessary sources
(sys, maybe sbin) to upgrade my system. From the documentation on
freebsd.org it looks like one must cvsup src-all or nothing.
