We MUST be getting close by now!
OK, did all the good things with mergemaster, then:
bra at BAPhD /home/bra #ls /etc/mail
BAPhD.gihon.org.au.cf           aliases.db                      
freebsd.submit.mc
BAPhD.gihon.org.au.mc           errors.txt                      helpfile
BAPhD.gihon.org.au.mc.BAK       freebsd.cf                      mailer.conf
Makefile                        freebsd.mc                      
mailertable.sample
README                          freebsd.mc.merged               sendmail.cf
access.sample                   freebsd.mc.rv                   submit.cf
aliases                         freebsd.submit.cf               
virtusertable.sample
bra at BAPhD /home/bra #cd /etc/mail
bra at BAPhD /etc/mail #make && make install
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bi -OAliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases
[there was quite a time to wait, here, before]
/etc/mail/aliases: 25 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 254 bytes total
chmod 0640 /etc/mail/aliases.db
install -m 444 BAPhD.gihon.org.au.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
install -m 444 freebsd.submit.cf /etc/mail/submit.cf
bra at BAPhD /etc/mail #
bra at BAPhD /etc/mail #make stop ; make restart
Stopping:/etc/rc.sendmail: stop-mta: /var/run/sendmail.pid not found

Restarting:/etc/rc.sendmail: restart-mta: /var/run/sendmail.pid not found
/etc/rc.sendmail: restart-mspq: /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid

What does this tell us - other than that sendmail still isn't loading?
