Depending on your partition / disk slice layout you may have overwritten
your root file system with the kernel. => Reinstall system. 

My prefered method is to mahe a PReP boot MBR partition at the beginning
of the disk (2 to 3 MB) and the BSD MBR partition at the rest. Then 
writing the boot-image to /dev/rsd0c, (c == whole disk, d == BSD MBR 
partition of the disk) and reinstall MBR partitioning with fdisk and 
then the disklabel.
