I'm curious about this. This isn't a dig, although my incredulity might make it seem so. Every piece of documentation I've seen says to do it the other way around. Make world first, then build kernel, then boot. Experience tells me that this is a good thing, and there have been numerous changes made in the past that require you to build the world first (like ipfw). So the question is, why do you build the kernel first? What advantage do you think it will provide?
