I think you have not understood the handbook.
You MUST rebuild both base system and kernel to correctly upgrade your FreeBSD
box to 8.1-RELEASE.
If you let your system in 8.0-RELEASE and compile a kernel with 8.1 sources,
you will have problem.

Hi,

When you upgrade your system to a major release (7.x > 8.x), you MUST
re-install all your ports. See the handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports-using.html and the section
"4.5.4 Upgrading Ports".

Hi,
If your DNS are changed, I think that your network card is configured in DHCP
mode.
To dissallow DNS changes (in /etc/resolv.conf) by DHCP updates, you can add
this line to /etc/dhclient.conf :
prepend domain-name-servers
,,;
After you must restart your network card and voilà.

Hi,
I have experienced this when you use csup to sync your sources. You have to use
one or other but not twice.
There is a difference of the date on the files, because freebsd-update patches
are created before the CVS commits are done.

Please read the handbook section related to the FreeBSD update tool
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html
freebsd-update is a binary update tool, so you haven't got anything to rebuild,
except your custom kernel (if you are using one).
