 OK... I think i managed to do it....at least the uname is showing the
 6.3-RELEASE p5, running my custom kernel....

 I think i am missing to update the installed ports, but they are
 working ok, so i will do it later....

 The thing was that after the freebsd-update install it wasnt taking
 the new rel....
 it was cause i rebuild the kernel earlier than when the /usr/src files
 have been updated by the update....
 when i rebooted they were updated so i rebuild my kernel according to
 the new GENERIC and reboot and all was OK :)

 Cheers and any doubrs just ask....
