Yes, except I ran into some problems this last time where, after
successfully booting the new kernel in single-user mode, installing world,
running mergemaster, rebooting and finding the new kernel didn't work, I
couldn't get the old kernel to work, either.  :-(  Apparently, something
had changed just enough somewhere to make the old kernel go kerplooey, too.
