  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^----- this is why you couldn't cd into /usr/src

from note 3 near the end of /usr/src/UPDATING:

        [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
                fsck -p
                mount -u /
                mount -a
                cd src
                adjkerntz -i            # if CMOS is wall time
        Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
        you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
