V4.0F->V4.0G upgrade - kernel build problem

This morning I attempted to upgrade an ES40 from V4.0F to V4.0G (on the way
to V5.1B-1) using 'installupdate -i <cdrom device>'. The box has LSM root
mirrors (and I created a third mirror to a disk hanging off an HSZ80
controller just incase I have to rollback - this disk has been physically
removed from the system).

All appeared to go well...

"107 of 107 subset(s) installed successfully."
&
09:52:04 Merge completed successfully.
09:52:24
09:52:24 Merging /etc/sysconfigtab

09:52:26 disklabel: -: No such file or directory
09:52:26 disklabel: -: No such file or directory
09:52:26 disklabel: -: No such file or directory

(not sure what to make of the disklabel business, only noticed this now).

Until this part,

"10:04:27 *** KERNEL CONFIGURATION AND BUILD PROCEDURE ***"

where all kernel options were selected. At this point the following
"Working..." messages timestamped in increments of 2 minutes were observed
for the next three hours until we powercycled the box.

I'm wondering what we might have done wrong here?
Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Thanking you
