Except that you have to do "make buildworld" SOMETIME before doing the
"make kernel".  (Or I think you can build the kernel the old fashioned
way with "config", etc.)

I don't know the reason that "make kernel" doesn't work (or shouldn't
be done anyway) if you haven't done "make buildworld" or what changes
would require you to redo "make buildworld" before a "make kernel" 
(non-kernel src changes, I suppose), but I've seen the requirement
mentioned many places.
