My copy of /usr/src/UPDATING (from 4.0-stable) doesn't look quite like that but nevermind, you are probably just using a slightly older version. The sequence of things to do when upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0 is basically: make buildworld # It doesn't appear as if you have done this make buildkernel make installkernel reboot using the new kernel make installworld mergemaster reboot (I have omitted some steps. see /usr/src/UPDATING for all the details.) Note that the 4.0 kernel has to be built using the 4.0 tools. > > So if I want to go from 3.4-STABLE to 4.0-STABLE I apparently have to > upgrade *twice* (once to 4.0-RELEASE, then again to 4.0-STABLE).

It will probably work to upgrade directly to 4.0-stable but since the developers don't want to check that it still works after every change to 4.0-stable it isn't (officially) supported.
