1) In multi-user mode, try to update your source tree to RELENG_4.

2) Drop to single-user mode.

3) cd /usr/src
   make cleandir
   make cleandir	# (Yes, twice)

4) make buildworld

5) make buildkernel

6) make installkernel

7) make installworld

8) mergemaster

9) reboot

If your box is hosed to the point where that doesn't work and you don't
know how to fix each problem manually, you'll be better off going for a
binary installation of 4.x-RELEASE and then updating to 4.x-STABLE.

Seriously, now's not the time to run CURRENT "for fun".

Ciao,
Sheldon.
