That's a call to 'script' to run, telling it where to put the resulting text file. While it is running, commands are given and executed. Later, if something goes wrong, or you saw something you want to check on, you have a record of what happened that you can look at, and pass on to others, if needed. Could you explain the logic of running mergemaster -p, when you have nothing to run it on. /usr/obj was blown away at the beginning of the buildworld sequence. What are you going to check at that point? Please take a look at the handbook for the sequence that things should occur in. I would say look at /usr/src/UPDATING, but their sequence doesn't include installing the kernel anymore.
