Why aren't you following /usr/src/UPDATING instead, that tends to be 
more up to date than the handbook.

This step should have been:
	make installkernel KERNCONF=L004

Why don't you use "shutdown now" instead, that way your put into single 
user mode with things already mounted. Just accept the standard 
location of sh, cd into /usr/src and you can finish up.

This is something I don't think I've ever seen. Where does it say to do 
this. I think this is a big problem and once more I would suggest 
following /usr/src/UPDATING.

Final time: use the method in /usr/src/UPDATING. That's why it's there.

I'm not totally useless,
I can be used as a bad example.
