FreeBSD 5.0 install.... getty won't execute

[Lucas Holt]

I just "tried" to upgrade from 4.8 stable to 5.0 release using the 
following procedure

make buildkernel
(error)
make buildworld
make buildkernel (worked this time)
make installkernel (worked after adding a device hint file)
reboot

kernel booted, then it tried to run /usr/libexec/getty and died.  It 
went into a loop and I rebooted.  Now the 5.0 kernel won't boot and 4.8 
gives me an error about /usr/libexec/getty not loading.

Is my install toast like I'm thinking?  If so, what did I do wrong?  I 
want to upgrade a server with 4.8 release on it remotely and need to 
perfect the upgrade.

btw I did try to compile 5.1 first, but I got errors with the kernel 
and the world (mostly variables were redefined)

My 4.8 stable install was compiled in late april.  (not sure exactly 
what day)
