When upgrading from 3.x to 4.0 stable you must rebuild config(8) and
genassym(8) prior to rebuilding a new kernel. See below.

An alternative method of building a kernel is:

cd /usr/src/usr.bin/genassym
make depend all install clean
cd ../../usr.sbin/config
make depend all install clean
cd ../../sys/i386/conf
config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make depend && make
make install

Then continue with the rest of the instructions.
