There are a number of complex issues which can cause trouble if you
don't properly upgrade /etc, /dev and what have you. These aren't
upgraded when you `make world', and must be dealt with manually. Read
the tutorial:
http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html
I also prefer to synchronise my source trees via `make update' (with a
properly-modified make.conf), and use `make buildworld' and `make
installworld', rather than `make world', but these are matters of
individual preference.
