Booting a new kernel after "make installkernel"

Hi folks,
Sorry for the awfully naive question, but I've tried on several
occasions to build world using the instructions here:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html
They work fine on amd64, but on powerpc I'm always left with an
unbootable system. It looks like it can't load or boot the kernel.
I've not customised anything; I've been trying to build 10.x-stable.
My previous experience was on Debian which required running yaboot to
update the Open Firmware bootloader configuration. Are there any
additional steps required on FreeBSD/powerpc which aren't in the generic
instructions?
Thanks all,
Roger
