Actually, my compiles failed because 4.0's shell and other utilities
use 4.0's new system calls. The advice I was given was (thanks Ruslan
Ermilov):
0. `uname -r' returns 3.x
1. make buildworld
2. make buildkernel
3. make installkernel
4. reboot with new kernel in signle-user mode
5. make -DNOINFO installworld
6. make buildkernel installkernel (again)
7. make installworld (again, without -DNOINFO)
