I followed the directions in the UPDATE file, and did a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, updated the /dev entries, updated my fstab to use ad instead of wd entries. Now when I try to boot into single user mode to do the installworld step, I get the errors: ad0: bad sector table not supported ad0s1a: badd sector table not supported Root mount failed: 22 If I try use wd instead of ad, I get the same error, excepting referring to wd. By booting a 3.4 release CD and going to fixit, I've managed to change the /dev/wd files back to the old ones, undo the changes to fstab, and then reboot the machine using the old 3.5 kernel. I'm not sure now what to do to get the 4-S kernel to boot. The disk is a 19Gb Seagate IDE drive. Any ideas, anyone?
