You should run mergemaster -p before you do buildworld. -p runs through the mergemaster process and makes only those changes that are required for a successful build/installworld. Please read mergemaster(8). You also need to install the new kernel BEFORE you reboot to single user mode. This way you'll know if the kernel will boot or not before you replace version-specific system programs. If you don't, and install the kernel and world together, and the kernel doesn't work, you're going to hose your machine! This is not such a big deal when moving from 4.7p1 to 4.7p2, but it is critical when moving between releases and development branches.
