I do a

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
./mergemaster.sh -pcd /usr/src

as a first step. It was recommended back in the 4.X days.

actually, my scripts come in two parts.

part 1.

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
./mergemaster.sh -pcd /usr/src
cd /usr/obj
chflags -R noschg *
rm -rf *
cd /usr/src
make buildworld && make buildkernel && make installkernel

at this point you need to reboot.

when the system comes back (multiuser)

part 2:

cd /usr/src
make installworld && mergemaster

then I reboot again.
