The base system needs to be re-rolled.  Please see a post I made to
stable@ earlier today with the subject "4.8-RELEASE status"...it has
more details on what the problems were.  murray has a release build in
progress now; we hope that this should solve these issues.  You can
expect a notification on this list when the bits make it to
ftp-master, as usual.

Sorry for the extra effort required on this release...as always,
thanks for your help with distributing FreeBSD!

Bruce.
