Because this way you would build a kernel with non-matching userland
binaries. You have to make world first after cvsup.

In case you never configured and built your own kernel, leave out the
KERNCONF=... part. This will build the GENERIC kernel.

It seems you had problems with CVSup, too. Please post your supfile. Or,
more easily,
- copy /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile to your home directory
- edit the
*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
line to
*default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org (Note: this is a german mirror)
- as root,
cvsup -g -L 2 ~/stable-supfile
to retrieve the world and kernel sources.
If you got a CD-ROM at hand, install the source packages before that --
this will reduce the download time.

You probably told CVSup to retrieve a nonexistent part of the source.
Combined with certain options, this will cause CVSup to nuke the source
directory.
