Well, I used sudo from the main admin account while in multi-user mode, except I forgot that a couple of times and had to break out. And I forgot to grab it at the beastie menu on the reboot just now, but it seems to be installing world okay after a second reboot to single-user. > Since the buildkernel died, your libraries haven't been > updated.

It just finished the install, so I'll see what happens in the second pass of mergemaster (That looks like it could be a very useful tool.) and then build ports.
