Just go ahead and build.sh distribution and build.sh kernel=GENERIC
from current and you should get the more recent /boot and /stand that
you need.  I think a build.sh install=/ installs /stand for you, but I
think you might have to manually use installboot to get /boot
upgraded.  I believe this has always been the case but there was
rarely a compelling reason to upgrade /boot.  :)

Good luck,
