 ****************************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.

Even better, tha handbook describes the process in detail down to single user 
mode.
