I just updated my laptop so heres what i did.

I installed the new kernel on the laptop and rebooted, then I copied the sets 
to the laptop, then extracted them to / (except etc.tgz). Make sure you pass 
the -p flag to tar to keep the permissions intact.

after that run postinstall -s /path/to/etc.tgz fix
then run etcupdate -s /path/to/etc.tgz

that should now give you a working system.

Hope that helps
