The above was not meant to be a step-by-step procedure. It was a brief
summary of what you should have found in the handbook. I was questioning
if this was the general process you used.

Not by coincidence, the above is what I use to upgrade my boxen, again
the general procedure is buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel and
installworld.

Of course, time should always be set aside before your first upgrade
attempt.
