Good that it boots. BTW was that an upgrade or a reinstall? You must have
been doing it the windows way ;-) These guys here advice otherwise.
If you check www.mostgraveconcern.com you'll find info on upgrading 3.x to
4.x

#>Is there any way that I can mount the / file system in order to delete some files so that I can 
#>retry the upgrade?

Yes. 
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs

#>Thanks,

Document code?  Why do you think they call it "code?"
