From 3), just do:
3) cd /usr/src ; ./build.sh -d -D /usr/tmp/destdir
4) build a new kernel (cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf; config GENERIC; cd ../compile/GENERIC; make)
5) install the new kernel and reboot
6) mv /etc /etc.old; cd /usr/tmp/destdir; pax -rw -p e . /
7) merge bits from /etc.old in /etc (this should be not much more than
users added to master.passwd, groups, myname, mygate, resolv.conf, ifconfig.*,
rc.conf)
8) reboot
