Quoting from the UPDATING file:

20000825:
	/boot/device.hints is now required for installkernel to
	succeed.

	Peter took an axe to config(8).  Besure that you read his mail
	on the topic before even thinking about updating.  You will
	need to create a /boot/device.hints or add a hints directive
	to your config file to compile them in statically.  The format
	of the config file has changed as well.  Please see GENERIC or
	NEWCARD for examples of the new format.

Granted, I did commit the first entry only a few hours before you
posted...
