Never build the kernel before installing the world. You might be using an
out of date /usr/sbin/config in which case the kernel wont compile at all.
There is also no reason to boot into single user mode to install the
world unless it is a major upgrade such as from 2.2.7-3.0.
This is a simple and routine upgrade. Just make world and then compile
your kernel. Reboot the system for the kernel change to take effect. The
make world changes take effect as soon as the make world is completed.
