Umm, how did you "build" the -current? You can't just "make world",
you need to install the new config first, and to do that, you need the
new .mk first, or some such. There is a script called FreeBSD-1.0.2-*
that Jordan ("the rational one") wrote on freefall, please try it.
This is because FreeBSD has undergone several major changes since
1.0.2. Once you get up to -current, things should be much easier.

Strange, I am getting at least several messages per day. Also, you
might want to subscribe to the -hackers mailing list too. Right now
-current is in a startup stage and many people still send messages to
-hackers.

Cool.
