The filesystem is not mounted in single user mode. You need to do a "mount -a" which will read /etc/fstab and mount the slices. After that you can cd normally. Also, you should not do a make installworld in multi-user. You should do that step in single user before you run mergemaster. Doing a make installworld before finding out if the new kernel will boot will bite you big time at some point. Believe me I've been there.
