But really the manual method is just

   unpack new kernel and modules
   reboot
   unpack rest of sets except etc/xetc
   unpack etc/xetc someplace else
   manually merge the new etc/xetc into your etc
   reboot again

where manually merge could be
   - "diff -ur"
   - think about each diff, and
     + decide to keep it
     + decide to reduce diff to new sets by applying delta to etc

I would add three points:

  1)	run postinstall(8) pointing it at the extracted etc/xetc sets
	and /, e.g. I typically do:
		postinstall -s /tmp/etc -x /tmp/etc -d / check
	when I have extracted the etc and xetc sets in /tmp/etc/.
	When it complains, run the command it suggest to fix things.

  2)	cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV all

  3)	certctl rehash

... where (3) is actually redundant nowadays as (1) is supposed to deal
with it.

Thank you very much for the tips Martin.
