Probably only with a binary install (i.e. from sysinstall and boot
media) at this point.  FWIW, it sounds like you did the upgrade
incorrectly, e.g. by trying to installworld before you had built and
booted a new kernel.  Follow the steps documented in the handbook and
in /usr/src/UPDATING next time and you should be fine.
