Well, you seem to be doing the same thing several times,  why not try

edit your supfile

make update

/usr/src/sys/i386/conf

cp GENERIC SYSTEM

edit SYSTEM, save and exit.

cd /usr/src

make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=SYSETM
make installkernel KERNCONF=SYSTEM

shutdown now

cd /usr/src

make installworld

/usr/sbin/mergemaster -v

fastboot

you should now have you new kernel and world running

Cheers,
Rob
