There's actually a very simple process to use to upgrade, providing you
have a broadband connection:
1) cvsup your sources to the newer sources. For more information read
about cvsup or checkout the handbook!
2) once you have new sources, cd to /usr/src and type make world; this
could take an hour or more
3) if this completes OK, cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (on 386-based
processor systems) and type:
# config GENERIC (or whatever your kernel config file is)
4) type:
# cd ../../compile/GENERIC (or name of kernel config file)
# make; make depend; make install
5) if this completes OK, type:
# shutdown -r now
6) once rebooted, login, and check uname -a. You will see stats for a
4.9-x kernel!

After all that angst, I couldn't get it to work anyway - on reboot the
system
reverted to a 4.8 kernel... Not sure why, but gave up at this point...
