Refer to the comment section of /usr/src/Makefile for an
explaination of the correct procedure of the updating
process:
1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree).
2. `make buildworld'
3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
[steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target]
5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
6. `mergemaster -p'
7. `make installworld'
8. `make delete-old'
9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -U or -ai).
10. `reboot'
11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore)
You'll also see what the different make targets are representing
(e. g. make world = "buildworld + installworld, no kernel").
