There's your problem. You should run "mergemaster -p" as step 2. The -p means "Pre-buildworld".
This was suggested on another list actually. Unfortunately, either you are wrong or the FreeBSD docs are wrong. In /usr/src/Makefile the steps are listed in the order I show above. Also, per the mergemaster manpage the -p option is used to update the "password database and recreate /etc/passwd." Ultimately, I think that this is an issue with the kernel recognizing the storage system, but I could be wrong! Please do correct me if I am.
Quick reminder for others: The 4.4-REL kernel is able to mount / fine, but 4.8-STABLE is not. This may either be a symptom of another problem, or the immediate problem.
Is this off-topic for freebsd-stable?
