So, i'm following the instructions of my freebsd book, and got past the 'make kernel KERNCONF=MYKERN' command. Then rebooted the machine and then typed 'cd /usr/src'. Then i tried to execute 'make installworld', but it couldn't execute and said something was wrong with smmsp and to look in the UPDATING file. So i looked into the UPDATING file and looked for smmsp. It gave some suggestions indicating that i have to execute 'megemaster -p'. So that's what i did and i didn't really understand what was going on, but i tried to merge in differences from different files. I then rebooted, and now i can't log into my machine under root or any other user. Can someone please help. I'm totally lost here.
