Its in UPDATING on -CURRENT. I guess we need to explicitly warn people to
read the -CURRENT UPDATING and not the -STABLE one when planning their
upgrade.
This is in -CURRENT UPDATING:
****************************DANGER*******************************
DO NOT make installworld after the buildworld w/o building and
installing a new kernel FIRST. You will be unable to build a
new kernel otherwise on a system with new binaries and an old
kernel.
Also see the section "To upgrade in-place from 4.x-stable to current" near
the bottom of the file.
