You need, in effect, an interim kernel build with a few things made and installed first to get the kernel to build. I wrote up the process (essential does the same thing you're told to do in /usr/src/UPDATING) on http://andrsn.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/3.4_4.0.html This document is probably incomplete on dealing with ide drives, but it should give you a feeling for what's going on and why you need to do some bootstrapping. There are also a few threads on the -stable mailing list on this process.
