Did you change your /etc/fstab from wd to ad when you upgraded. 

I liked 4.0 well enough on JADE that I tried upgrading my server, RUBY
to 4.0-Stable using cvsup but that failed in the "make
buildkernel/installkernel KERNEL=RUBY" sequence. Make was dying with
an error 64. I was in the middle and the system was mostly messed up.
If I didn't fix it, I would have had to move my dial up to my Windows
2000 Server. I didn't want to do that and so I took the advantage of
the opportunity to restructure my drives and did a clean install. I
had my first dat tape fail in the middle, which made a mess of things
:).

The only thing I added to the kernel config for RUBY from GENERIC was
"device pcm", which enabled sound. I commented out everything but the
devices I had. RUBY has a ultra-wide scsi controller in it, which adds
a das0a device.
