It is not a good idea to run fsck on a mounted filesystem... Instead, you need to run # shutdown -r now to REBOOT the machine with the newly installed kernel. At the loader menu, press `4' to boot into single user mode (at this point, only / will be mounted, so your `fsck -p' should work just fine).

I think you're getting confused by the instructions (don't have a browser to hand so can't check the handbook, so apologies if this isn't the case). IIRC, the handbook suggests you drop to single user BEFORE you begin, in=20 order to ensure nothing else is running while you run the build. In my experience, this has not been necessary. Even still, after the installkernel you MUST reboot the newly installed kernel before you continue.
