You never mentioned what machine you're running on.

For some time now the full GENERIC kernel has exceeded 1MB.  This means 
that you need 2MB Chip RAM to boot it.

And are you using loadbsd or /dev/{reload,reboot}?  The latter only works 
if the differences between the new kernel and the running kernel are very 
small.
