You did not fsck and mount in single-user mode. After fsck -p ; mount -a ; su - you will be able to use mergemaster and do installworld. okay i followed the directions better with fsck -p; mount -a; su - they didn't seem to do anything so i wasn't tripping. fsck -p looked like stuff that happened on bootup.
