Assuming it should be done like this: make buildworld make buildkernel mergemaster -p make installkernel (reboot) (startup on 7 kernel) make installworld mergemaster (do full mergemaster) make installworld (reboot) (make sure all is working in 7 then do it all again; just to be sure) make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel make installworld Sound about right? or too redundant? Thanks in advance.
