When I tried to upgrade from 5.4 to -current, I missed one command
from UPDATING, which I should run at single-user mode:
# fsck -p

And I've got similar problems. While booting system wrote smth like
"sector 32 is not a superblock", "do man fcsk about option -p" and so
on.. Next time I was more precise. All went good.

I can't recover from the first wrong installation. Only reinstalling
was a success.
