You've missed out
        d) make installworld

This method is the way to go if you've CVSUP'd the source files from
the FreeBSD cvsup servers.

This should read:

    config KERNEL-FILE
    cd to-the-correct-directory
    make depend
    make
    make install

You can use this method if you've just installed from CD, or if you've
done the buildworld+kernel+installworld at least once since you've
CVSUP'd the sources.

The rule to remember is that if your sources are from the CVSUP
servers you *must* do it via method 1 the first time.
