This is not right. Here's what you should be doing:
vi stable-supfile
cvsup -g -L2 stable-supfile
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=<your kernel name here>
make installkernel
shutdown -r now
# (make sure the system comes up)
shutdown -r now
# (come up in single-user mode this time)
make installworld
mergemaster
shutdown -r now
# (come up normally this time)
These steps have been documented in /usr/src/UPDATING since 4.0. This
is the only supported procedure for upgrading your system from source.
