6.1 troubles -- cannot "install buildworld"

Wed May 24 12:10:38 PDT 2006

On an older i386 box (Pentium III), used as a workstation, we have been
running FreeBSD_4.x and 5.x for a long time without problems.
Now, using cvsup, we updated FreeBSD source from
5.4p14 (default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4) to
6.1 (default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1_0_RELEASE)
and updated the system according to the canonical method:
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
# mergemaster -p
# shutdown
# cd /usr/src/
# make installworld

But that last step won't run. Output is:

# make installworld
mkdir -p /tmp/install.e6Vg3aX8
for prog in [ awk cap_mkdb cat chflags chmod chown  date echo egrep find
grep install-info  ln lockf make mkdir mtree mv pwd_mkdb rm sed sh
sysctl  test true uname wc zic; do  cp `which $prog`
/tmp/install.e6Vg3aX8;  done

Wonder whether anyone else has had any experience similar, or any
insight on what to do about it.
