Did the upgrade work? Why did I screw up SSH? HELP

I have a virtual server running FreeBSD. The ISP
claims it's version 4.10, but when I do a "uname -a" I
get the following:
FreeBSD <domain> 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0:
Fri Nov 12 09:18:00 PST 2004
root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/IPW i386
This leads me to beleive it's 4.8.
Using /stand/sysinstall I performed and upgrade to
4.10-RELEASE (selecting the Developer package).
Code and binary was downloaded through passive ftp
from ftp2.freebsd.org and everything looked to go
well. I got a confirmation saying I simply needed to
exit the install and I would be in the upgraded
version.
After exiting the install, uname command returns the
same results as before (4.8-RELEASE).
I did notice that when I return to sysinstall it's in
pretty colors now, however, when I go to the "Options"
I see that the Release Name is still defaulting to 4.8
Did the upgrade really work?
I am accessing this machine via SSH. Last time I
tried such an upgrade, I had a problem getting back
into the machine once I logged out. The SSH daemon
was unable to start, complaining about "PRNG not
seeded".
