The description seems a little incomplete to me. 1) make buildworld (sometimes to kernel doesn't compile if don't do buildwo= rld=20 first - at least that's my experience) 2) make buildkernel 3) make installkernel 4) reboot - single user mode 5) mergemaster -p <-- you forgot 6) make installworld 7) mergemaster <-- you forgot 8) reboot As is "19.4.1 The Canonical Way to Update Your System" Ben
