Hmm, I thought that the new kernel was supposed to be booted before the
installworld target was made.  In other words:

	make buildworld
	make buildkernel
	make installkernel
	(move the kernel to /kernel, usually)
	reboot into single-user mode
	(mount filesystems)
	make installworld
	mergemaster
	(enter multi-user mode)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
