Synopsis: Mergemaster on 4x -> 5.x pre-buildworld

State-Changed-Why: 

What you've described is accurate. There are (at least) two
possible solutions. First, use and/or install the mergemaster
from 5.x. Second, instead of trying to do a source upgrade
over major versions, back up your important data, and
reinstall from scratch. This is especially useful in the
4->5  upgrade since without a newfs on the filesystems
you miss out on the benefits of UFS2. 

hope this helps,

Doug
