Please read /usr/src/UPDATING
specifically these entries:
19990106:
Robert Nordier was kind enough to make this page to enable people to
install the new bootblocks:
http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt
When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your
/etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for
elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with
messages about being unable to find library files. The
mergemaster utility in ports/sysutils/mergemaster helps to
keep critical files like this in sync, and its use is
recommended.
19990104:
Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in
http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions
for doing the upgrade.
19981230:
You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will
become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade
your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use
make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile
for more details.
I dont' know how you could have POSSIBLY ignored all the warnings
that makeworld spat out at you, or why you didn't upgrade the
system by reinstalling.
If make world didn't spit out any warnings, my apologies, but afaik
it does.
