well. seems that you have got very lucky in the not-so-lucky sense of
the word.
You managed to pull down a March 2 bsd.rd, which was for "6.0-current"
and then all the mirrors updated to "6.1-beta" before you managed to do
the update.
So you got an install kernel looking for *60.tgz, and what was available
was *61.tgz.
Just get yourself a new bsd.rd. And a lottery ticket. In fact, get the
lottery ticket first.
