This is expected ;-)
See the new thread ``ALERT: New Jordan's a.out->ELF upgrade is broken!''

Yes, it was not upgraded.  Noone will upgrade it for you.
You should manually upgrade your /dev, /etc, etc...
See http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html,
sections 'Update /etc' and 'Update /dev' for details.

Even if you'd have your /dev up-to-date, you have no running 3.0 kernel
yet, with CAM (da0) support.

His upgrade is totally broken for 2.2.X systems.
I hope he will either revert, or fix it ASAP.

See you!
