Hello again,

It should be enough to just building and installing the kernel. The
freebsd-update should have patched the kernel src files anyway.
Thank you for very helpful advice. One last question, is it necessary to
restart the machine? Or can I keep it online after building and
installing the kernel? I don't care about uname -a details not being
updated unless the machine needs restarting to include the updates.
Thank you!
Zbigniew Szalbot
bye
