You're correct. It's in there in section 20.4.4 of the handbook, but it does appear quite a bit before the section for rebooting to single-user mode after having installed the kernel. I hadn't really noticed before, but the handbook appears to recommend (based on the order of the sections) that building the world should be done in single user. Does anyone really do that anymore with modern fast CPUS? Is there a reason I'm missing against building both the kernel and the world in multi-user mode, other than speed? Perhaps the handbook could be updated slightly to reflect the more common approach of staying in multi-user while building world and kernel, installing kernel THEN rebooting to single user mode and installing world. If not that, then at least a second mention of adjkerntz -i in the section on rebooting to your new kernel might have merit.
