That would be where he said:

which is equivalent to "make buildkernel installkernel".

It doesn't explain quite what's happening here, though -- and he
didn't even *hint* at such basic clues as what version he was updating

Booting the old kernel is certainly worth a try before starting over,
though; the system is quite likely to be salvageable.
