Today I also did a 3.4 -> 4.0 upgrade and your story seems very
similar to mine, but in the end I got it running.
At the point where you have your 4.0 kernel in place: boot single user.
(a normal boot paniced with a page fault, like your computer). Then
manually issue the mount commands:

mount /dev/wd0s1a /    (this will make / read/write)
mount /dev/wd0s1f /usr
mount /dev/wd0s1e /var

When I did a 'make -DNOINFO installworld' as suggested in UPDATING, it 
exited at the point where genassym had to be installed... no surprise
actually, because of the 'clean' target used there earlier. So I did 
genassym and config again and then the installworld succeeded. Then it
was business as usual: mergemaster, reboot, etc.

Also, I pkg_delete'd the openssh port and moved the openssh config files 
to their new place in /etc/ssh.

The machine now rocks as usual :-).

Oh yes, I couldn't get the GENERIC kernel to build. But I will try again
with Ruslan's suggestion posted here.

Good luck!

Karel.
