I interpreted this to mean *first*, build and install a new kernel.  I
did, and it worked fine.

I changed the above order to the order I have been doing it, with the
exception of building the kernel first which Chris suggested.  I am at

been compiling *all* night, it is still compiling.
(make World in X11 also)

As far as I can tell, the kernel build does not touch anything outside
of the /usr/src/sys tree.

Grab some binaries....
