You've missed out
d) make installworld
This method is the way to go if you've CVSUP'd the source files from
the FreeBSD cvsup servers.

This should read:
config KERNEL-FILE
cd to-the-correct-directory
make depend
make
make install
You can use this method if you've just installed from CD, or if you've
done the buildworld+kernel+installworld at least once since you've
CVSUP'd the sources.
The rule to remember is that if your sources are from the CVSUP
servers you *must* do it via method 1 the first time.
