Trying to 'installworld' and proxy user issue

Ok, I have to say I'm a bit confused. I ran through the handbook on how to
upgrade. I've done this before, but this time I ran into some problems.
I ran 'mergemaster -p' before trying to do 'installworld', and the install
immediately fails because there is no 'proxy' user. The thing is, the
proxy did get added to the master password file in /usr/src. It just
doesn't exist (yet) in /etc.
So, what exactly should have happened here? I looked on Google and noticed
someone else ran into the same exact problem. It seems like you always
have this chicken and egg problem when building new OS versions: things
required to exist on the bootstrap version in order to get a new version up
and running.
