Hi

This is what I would do.

cvsup -g -L2 supfile
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make installworld
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
mergemaster -a
cp etc/MA* /dev
cp release/sysinstall/sysinstall /stand/sysinstall
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV all

Also take note that you will have to create groups and accounts for the
following new system accounts.

mailnull
smmsp
sshd

I've done this plenty of times, especially as many of my older pentium
machines refuse to boot of any bootdisk/cdrom that is newer than 4.5
RELEASE.
