No, although you normally would install the kernel prior to shutdown
or simply "make kernel" to do both buildkernel and install kernel at
once. 

The reason is that you want to make sure the new kernel boots up
before you install the rest of the system so you can easily back off
to kernel.old while you fix the problem with the kernel. If you
installworld, backing off is nearly impossible.

Not that this is any insight into the original problem.
