Unfortunately, you CAN'T just upgrade your kernel.

Lots of stuff -- config, make, etc. -- change with time, and are not
compatible between -current and 1.2.1.

Furthermore, even if you could get a -current kernel, you would have
trouble with your 1.2.1 utilities being incompatible with it in a
dozen ways.

I would suggest that if you want to upgrade to -current, you should
upgrade to -current, and not try doing this piecemeal.
