If you want to do that all one on a single command line, I suggest you use 
something more like:

`cd /usr/src && make world && make kernel && mergemaster`

Which will check that each step is completed successfully before the next 
one starts.  One possibility is you have kern.securelevel set to a level 
that would prevent the new kernel from being properly installed.  Since you 
used ';' to separate those install commands, the system would silently go 
on to the next step even if the new kernel was not installed.

If you have any doubts that your source was not updated, look at

/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

and search for 'BRANCH' and 'REVISION'

If it indeed says STABLE and 4.4, then I'd see why your compiled kernel is 
not being installed correctly after being built.
