Also, there are several problems with the installworld phase. In particular, ELF branding was changed between 4.0 and 4.1. Unless you know what you are doing, I'd strongly recommend to upgrade to 4.1-RELEASE first, then jump up to the latest 4.X-STABLE available. Hopefully I can find some spare time in the near future to fix the most serious bug in our install(1) program that makes source upgrades from 4.0 rather impossible without special hacking. Search mailing list archives for more details on upgrading from 4.0 to 4.x. I recently provided the detailed instructions with explanations. Again, I would not recommend to do it remotely.
