reboot (in single user mode)
fsck -p (optional, but a good idea)
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^----- this is why you couldn't cd into /usr/src
swapon -a (most cases; optional)
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.
2 things I feel worth mentioning - well, 3;
I just performed a 5.2 --> 7b4 upgrading using the "cheat sheet" I
provided. All went w/o error/troubles. It (cheat sheet) has also
served me well many yrs. w/o issues.
I /did/ mention that the "cheat sheet" I provided was not a
replacement for /usr/src/UPDATING.
But you /strategically/ removed that part of the post.
Context is also lost.
