This may screw you because some device nodes (e.g. ATA drives) have
changed from 3.x to 4.x. You really need to mergemaster and re-MAKEDEV
before rebooting, which requires you to install mknod as described in
UPDATING. You should also do the rest of the upgrade in single-user mode
(e.g. I forgot and tried to boot multi-user, and the system paniced at
boot trying to load the linux KLD from /etc/rc.).

This is because you presumably didn't install the crypto sources and/or
build them.

This won't do anything.
