He may mean that, but it's not what he said. I went by what he said.
From /usr/src/UPDATING:
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
-----------------------------------------------------------
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
make buildworld
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
[1]
<reboot in single user> [3]
mergemaster -p [5]
make installworld
make delete-old
mergemaster [4]
<reboot>
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
make buildworld [9]
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
[1]
<reboot in single user> [3]
mergemaster -p [5]
make installworld
make delete-old
mergemaster -i [4]
<reboot>
I just don't see where it says "make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL.
It used to. That's where I got my original procedure from as the
handbook at the time was somewhat confusing. Now the procedure in the
handbook is better.
