Depending on where your / slice is, you can try something like mount /dev/ad0s1a / It depends on how far in to /usr/src/UPDATING you followed when you did the upgrade. It is also available on http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/. You have to choose the one for RELENG_4 branch, if you don't have a copy that you can look at right now.
