You won't see this step anywhere. A shutdown now is not the equivalent=20
of a boot to single user mode. The whole point in the reboot is testing=20
your kernel before you do the installworld.

Probably not but it works just fine if you haven't done a cvsup of=20
src-all. The accepted method is then what you have listed but with a=20
boot instead of a shutdown.

Most signal errors in compiles are hardware errors.
