| Save, but not supported. You must buildworld before you can buildkernel.
My intuition is that it would be almost certain to fail to compile if it ewere
to fail rather than leaving you completely dead in the water. But I always
do it per UPDATING:
make buildworld
make kernel # dunno why UPDATING says to do *this* in two steps
reboot (-s)
make installworld
mergemaster
