Pay attention to the make options (you can find them in /usr/src/Makefile).
'make kernel' is equivalent to 'make buildkernel + installkernel', just like
'make world' is equivalent to 'make buildworld + installworld'. The latter
can be dangerous, but the former usually isn't.
One process is:
[csup, etc.]
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel [reboot single user]
[mergemaster -p if necessary]
make installworld
mergemaster [reboot]
[ports or other stuff]
If you wish, the 'make buildkernel' + 'make installkernel' can be replaced
with 'make kernel', which does them both in sequence with one command.
