I did both in the right order (first buildworld, then buildkernel). The 
kernel was OK and bootable. I hd no problem, just experienced something 
that in my opinion violates POLA. buildworld + buildkernel + 
installkernel should not produce an error for a fresh default 
installation.

I think we all agreee on that.

You can try this easily with an amd64 8.0-RELEASE.
