    I think you got it wrong. The steps are:

    make buildworld
    make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE
    make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE
    shutdown now
    fsck -p
    mount -u /
    mount -a -t ufs
    swapon -a
    make installworld
    mergemaster -yourswitches
    reboot

    I govern a few machines none of which is very busy, and always
    short-circuit the sequence to:

    make buildworld
    make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE
    make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_CONFIG_FILE
    make installworld
    mergemaster -si
    reboot
