Run mergemaster *before* you reboot!

  - aW



	Things like /usr/bin/top which read kernel variables is a good example of
	something that is going to break.

	Rather than a new kernel and old world why not do

	   cd /usr/src
	   make buildworld && \
	   make buildkernel KERNCONF=mykernelconf && \
	   make installworld && \
	   make installkernel KERNCONF=mykernelconf && \
	   reboot

	   ...

	   run mergemaster after the reboot


	Assuming all the makes suceeded the machine will reboot with a matching
	kernel and world.

	 - Mike
