The exact sequence of events I went through was , (it was my fault, but a 
gottcha). 

on a machine running 16th July current 

1) CVSUP sources to August 19th current. 
2) edit kernel conf to add ndis and NDISAPI so I can load driver for broadcomm 
wifi card. 
3) Make buildworld..  
4) ndisconv driver ............ 
5) Make buildkernel, which fails because of a problem in ndis side, thinks ahh 
well. 
6) edit kern conf to remove ndis options 
7) make buildkernel again, all ok
8) make installkernel 
9) reboot into single user, mount fs's etc 
10) mergemaster -p 
11) make installworld ...... fails, cannot find ndis.ko, lesson learnt, 
buildworld looks at kernel conf 
12) reboot on old kernel 
13) make buildworld .... fails, make not working, cp /usr/obj make to 
userland... 
14) make buildworld ... all ok 
15) make buildkernel .... fails on genatmtree ... cp /usr/obj version to  user 
land ... 
16) make buildkernel again, .... all ok 
17) make installkernel 
18) ..... carry on and get full system up again 
19) stop shaking :-) 

It was mainly my own fault for editing the kern conf file between makes, but 
it could be less fragile if kernbuilds used the binaries built either in 
buildworld, or buildkernel, and does not assume userland binaries are up to 
date.
