Shouldn't the handbook be fixed then? The handbook says mergemaster -p
should be preformed AFTER the reboot...
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
To update your system, you should use the following procedure:
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
# reboot
You should boot in single user mode (using boot -s from loader prompt
for example). Then run:
# mergemaster -p
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot
