"ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp" after cvsup and making worldfmen

I just cvsupped to the latest RELENG_5 (as of yesterday) and built and 
installed the world and a new kernel. When I boot the new kernel, I get 
an error "ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp". At the "mountroot>" prompt, 
whatever I type (even '?') causes a crash and reboot. I can still boot 
my old kernel without a problem. The dmesg from the old kernel and a 
capture of the boot of the new kernel are below. Noticably absent from 
the new one is the line "ad0: 76319MB <ST380011A/3.06> [155061/16/63] at 
ata0-master UDMA100" which is my only disk drive.

Can somebody please help?

Thanks,
    Graham
