I tried to upgrade from 7.1 to 8.4 yesterday and something went wrong, I'm thinking that something went wrong with the custom kernel or that I messed up resolving conflicts somewhere. Either way, here's where I'm at right now:

I can log in to single user mode, but / is being mounted as read only. I try mount -o rw / and get the following warning:
Code: 
WARNING: R/W mount of / denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck
mount: : Operation not permitted

So I run fsck() and it tells me
Code: 
mount option <reload> is unknown

Any help would be incredibly appreciated
 
Just double checked to make sure and its for sure reload no remount.

I checked out the linked thread, mount -u w / resulted in the same mount denied , run fsck() message as above, and according to /etc/fstab the drive is ufs
 
Ok, now I'm running mfsBSD but when I run fsck nothing happens, it just goes back to the command prompt with no output.
 
You have to tell it which filesystems to check. In turn, that depends on the partition scheme used on the drive. The root partition is usually /dev/ada0s1a or /dev/ada0p2, so:
fsck -tufs -y /dev/ada0p2
