 Maxim,
 
 If you read my description, I did state about doing make kernel (which 
 does both buildkernel and installkernel) before doing installworld. I 
 have tried 2 kernel (generic and mine) and again as I said before, I had 
 no luck. Just before I cvsup'd and recompiled earlier today (last cvsup 
 before was few days ago), there was no problem.

State-Changed-Why:  
It seems this was a missing /dev/null! I wonder if we can improve the 
error reporting here? 

David.
