single user mode buildwerld failures

[KAYVEN RIESE]

install WORLD

failed.  usage message..

then cd /usr/src; make installwerld also failed.

it said "required audit group is missing.. see /usr/src/UPDATING"
i am going to reboot into single user mode and follow these instructions 
from /usr/src/UPDATING
now:

         To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
         -----------------------------------------------------------
         # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more 
than
         # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.

         <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
         make buildworld
         make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
                                                         [1]
         <reboot in single user>                         [3]
         mergemaster -p                                  [5]
         make installworld
         make delete-old
         mergemaster                                     [4]
         <reboot>

that failed.  mergemaster -p  complained that /var/tmp/temproot was a read 
only filesystem
i tried a couple of options either involving deleting it or using it but 
nothing werked.

i don't know what to do now.

You did not fsck and mount in single-user mode. After fsck -p ; mount -a ; 
su - you will be able to use mergemaster and do installworld.


okay i followed the directions better  with

fsck -p; mount -a; su -
they didn't seem to do anything so i wasn't tripping.  fsck -p looked like 
stuff that happened on
bootup.
