+ to reboot.  After you reboot, you will need to run it again.
-         install_kernel
-         reboot
-         install_sets
-         cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV all
-         upgrade /etc.

+ If you are installing a release of the same version, it will install the
+ latest kernel, extract available sets, and then run sysmerge or attempt to run
+ mergemaster and finally update installed packages.
- install
+ Also included is a copy of release.sh
-         This calls get_sets if there are no sets, then call
-         install_kernel, then, if the version of the kernel we are booted
-         off is the same as the sets, it installs the sets, and if it was
-         an upgrade between versions (there was an etcXX.tgz from the
-         previous version downloaded) install mergeslave, then it will
-         tell you to reboot.
- get_sets
-         This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.
-         It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets
-         that are currently installed on the box you are running it on.
- install_kernel
-         Copies the new kernels from the file set above.  Should only be
-         run AFTER running get_sets.  You should reboot after running
-         this
- install_sets
-         Extracts the new sets to the correct directories.  Most of them
-         to /, but it extracts etc??.tgz to /tmp.  You should upgrade
-         /etc after you have run this, as well as upgrading packages with
-         pkg_add -ui then reboot.
- mergeslave
-         This is a modified version of mergeslave.  You should only use
-         it if upgrading between versions, not -stable upgrades.
