You'll also need to update things in /boot - at the very least that
means unpacking an updated kernel ("kernel7.img", grab it from
kern-RPI2.tgz), but possibly also updating your firmware files
(bootcode.bin, start.elf and *.dtb files).  I suppose the easiest way
to get all the latter is by copying them off an armv7.img or from the
smaller rpi_inst.img.gz.
