Maybe your copy of the handbook is a bit old, as the latest version
states:
# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
["not" is emphasized]
If you have not upgraded your source tree in any way (you have not
run CVSup, CTM, or used anoncvs), then you should use the config,
make depend, make, make install sequence.
Warning: If you have upgraded your sources since your last
kernel build, you must use the make buildkernel method to build
your kernel. Otherwise, old utilities will be used to build the
kernel, which will probably fail. Do not use the config/make
sequence to build your kernel if you have updated the sources!
