> As far as I remember, this typically happens when some sources are touched, and it is attempting to rebuild the boot loader binaries at install time. This should normally not happen, as everything has been built during buildworld already. But this problem sometimes occurs when system clocks are out of sync, or when files in the object tree get their dates modified for other reasons.

IIRC, this happenes on the scenario below.

 buildword
 buildkernel
 modify something related with only kernel or kernel modules
 buildkernel aggain
 installkernel
 reboot
 etcpudate -p
 installworld, then, bang! start rebuiding boot codes and loaders.
