It is almost like you have some source out of date and your system isn't being updated because make thinks your old stuff is more recent. I just cvsup'ed two systems (RELENG_4 % src-all) this afternoon and the buildworld, build[install]kernel KERNEL=OPAL&JADE, and installworld worked just fine. Warner has a [1] indicating you may not need to boot to single user mode to do the installworld. At this time, both of these systems can be installworld'ed without booting to single user mode. There are changes coming up where that may not be true. I do a reboot after running mergemaster.
