Not quite (it may work, but I wouldn't do it this way). "make
world" will include buildworld as well as installworld. So the
later steps run with an old kernel and a new world. Minimize
this window of inconsistency by rearrangement:
update sources
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
mergemaster(!)
BTW the list archive is full with these threads. Especially
since the "HEADS UP!" for the binutils upgrade and the therefor
suggested buildkernel procedure. You can find a whole lot of
proven rulesets for updating there.
