While the order is correct, for the safest way to do this you need to add a step: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=client make installkernel KERNCONF=client reboot to single user mode (NOT the same as a shutdown to single-user!) make installworld mergemaster reboot This assures that your new kernel will actually boot before you commit to replacing your entire userland and possibly leave your system dead until you can restore the prior userland.
