Darn, never mind, I got it working and then found the appropriately placed
why didn't I see it /usr/src/UPDATING which details how to get around the
exact problems I had.. still don't see why wd0 got changed to wd2..

5.0-current wouldn't reboot cleanly, waited 60seconds for bufsomething and
syncer then printed a string of 1s then claimed to have given up flushing a
buffer and I fsck found corruption on the next reboot.. Also my "internet
connection sharing" (aka "nat"/gateway) stopped working, reinstalling 3.4
again..

3.4 cvsuped to the tip of stable is extremely unreliable for me. Building
ports while fetching other ports usually panics about a vm object being
deallocated too many times (ref count is zero at start of dealloc). Rather
than give on BSD, since I like that it is one distribution, easily kept up
to date, and the ports collection, I tried cvsuping to current (I thought
4.0, but actually 5.0). So, now, how do I "upgrade"? I basically have one
system, one drive.
