FWIW, I moved some (the last, I think; yay!) 4.x boxes up to 6.x last
weekend.  I did NOT install a new bootloader before booting the 5.x
kernel, but I DID have a serial console available to manually point it
at the new location for that boot (the installworld after that put the
new loader in place so I didn't have to do it manually after that).
That was enough.
