Well, turns out that was the answer. I've got to tell you;
I've performed _well_ over 1200 build/install world/kernel's over the last
30 years, and this was the _first_ time I've ever been required to do this
extra step. In fact, I just finished 4 last week on the same ARCH. The only
difference was that I used the 8.0 DVD for the initial install. Everything
else was the same. Cvsupping src && ports brought them to 8.1-CURRENT, prior
to the build/install world/kern. If I had to guess, I'd say that something
changed on the 8.1 DVD, or _very_ recently on src. I didn't see anything in
NOTES || README || UPDATING.

Well, I _greatly_ appreciate your response, and wish you a
_very_ happy new year! :)
