Ideally you should build, install, and boot your new kernel before installing your new world. If your new kernel fails to boot for whatever reason, you can easily boot the old kernel and have a fully functional system again. If you installworld before verifying your new kernel, you could run into worse problems if your new kernel doesn't load and you have to boot the old kernel with your new world.
