Basically it consists of (re)compilation and installation of world + kernel

However, 2 parts are always ommited:

Stage 1 - mbr|boot0

Stage 2 - boot

I won't also mention GPT part ...



Stage 3 - loader (is "covered" by world install)



Should it be expanded to world + kernel + bootcodes

The old way, one could pull it's old bootcodes, from 6.0 to 10.0 world + kernel



And bootcodes are changing. I've got bitten by bug in stage 2 boot, during 8.2 -> 9.0.
