After all that angst, I couldn't get it to work anyway - on reboot the system reverted to a 4.8 kernel... Not sure why, but gave up at this point...

There's actually a very simple process to use to upgrade, providing you have a broadband connection: 1) cvsup your sources to the newer sources. For more information read about cvsup or checkout the handbook! 2) once you have new sources, cd to /usr/src and type make world; this could take an hour or more 3) if this completes OK, cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (on 386-based processor systems) and type: # config GENERIC (or whatever your kernel config file is) 4) type: # cd ../../compile/GENERIC (or name of kernel config file) # make; make depend; make install 5) if this completes OK, type: # shutdown -r now 6) once rebooted, login, and check uname -a. You will see stats for a 4.9-x kernel!

Re: howto upgrade 4.8 to 4.9 without cdrom or floppy? ERROR
Yes, I am familiar with that upgrade path... Part of my motivation was ... well, lazyness :-) using someone elses worked out example, part a desire to blow away a rather mixed and heavily tweeked system (read I've been experimenting on it for so long I'm not sure what I've done anymore)... and a small part the thrill of tackling an interesting problem... (mode = evil willow Bored Now! /mode) In particular I wanted to completely remove a whole bunch of pkg_adds I'd done manually without doing pkg_delete or whatever... given there was nothing I needed to keep, I figured it was easier to reinstall from scratch (4.9-RELEASE), with or without cvsup'ing to 4.9 stable.
