I was in the single user mode doing 'make installworld'

Now in single user mode I get to:

Is there a way to recover?
Or do I have to reinstall from scratch?
Try /rescue/sh (or tcsh). It's all statically linked, so you should be
able
to recover from there.
And if that doesn't work, try a LiveFS CD.
And, if all else fails, you can do a minimal install overtop. You'll lose
all your /etc settings, but will get a bootable system again.

easier and less risky to boot in on some form of live cd, mount all the fs
up under /mnt, set the DESTDIR=/mnt and continue the installworld
Yes, this is the easiest way to do things:
1. Boot live CD, USB, w/e.
2. mount all of your filesystems.
3. make -C $DESTDIR/usr/src installworld DESTDIR=$DESTDIR
No loss of data. But given that you've already done the reinstall, I
suppose there's no way to go back now :/...
make(1) and friends come on the live CD or USB stick images ?
AFAIR they didn't and it required a chroot(1) into the newly mounted
environment and then running make(1) after invoking /rescue/sh to continue
the install from a previously built world.
If so then the above would become:
chroot /mnt /rescue/sh
cd /usr/src
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster
sync ;sync ;reboot
--- continue whatever other steps from here...
The above assumes you have already installed your new kernel. If not then
it should be obvious of the steps you have to take to get that done.
