>Description:
The section on updating from 3.x to 4.0 in /usr/src/UPDATING is missing
an instruction to mount the filesystems after booting in single user mode.
While far from critical, less experienced users, including those who may
never have had reason to boot in single-user mode, can and will be
confused.
>How-To-Repeat:
Follow the instructions in lines 63 and 64 of the file literally. Watch
it fail to find /usr/src.
