I just "tried" to upgrade from 4.8 stable to 5.0 release using the following procedure

make buildkernel
(error)
make buildworld
make buildkernel (worked this time)
make installkernel (worked after adding a device hint file)
reboot

kernel booted, then it tried to run /usr/libexec/getty and died. It went into a loop and I rebooted. Now the 5.0 kernel won't boot and 4.8 gives me an error about /usr/libexec/getty not loading.

Is my install toast like I'm thinking? If so, what did I do wrong? I want to upgrade a server with 4.8 release on it remotely and need to perfect the upgrade.

btw I did try to compile 5.1 first, but I got errors with the kernel and the world (mostly variables were redefined)

My 4.8 stable install was compiled in late april. (not sure exactly what day)
