Hi all,

So I can get it right in my head (no theres a challenge).  The correct steps 
for building a custom kernel is:

   1) update sources
7) rm -rf /usr/obj/*
   2) make buildworld
   3) edit kernel config file
   4) make buildkernel
   5) make installkernel
   6) reboot
   8) make installworld
   9) mergemaster
