I'm in the habit (following the handbook) of doing things in a slightly
different order:

make buildworld
go to single user with "shutdown now"
make installworld
mergemaster
make buildkernel
make installkernel
reboot

Should this be a problem? I'd rather do the "make buildkernel" along with
"make buildworld" from a cron'd script if that's ok, to save me time in
front of the console in single user mode. From below, it sounds like it
might be ok.

It depends on whether "make buildkernel" uses installed pieces from "make
installworld".

Any definitive word here?
