>Description:
I have been trying to get a server setup to serve some diskless clients.
Everyone tells me that diskless is a snap...but the docs leave me wanting
to swallow a cyanide pill...been at this a long time and at least I'm
convinced that something must be outdated in the docs or diskless just
doesn't work anymore.

I follow the steps in man diskless for pxeboot. And I have read many HOWTO
articles on diskless setup with FreeBSD. But each time I try to build the
server files to serve the clients with these commands:

export DESTDIR=/dksro (or I sometimes try setenv)
cd /usr/src
make world
make kernel
cd etc
make distribution

I get a dozen or so lines of text and then the process fails with this message:
install: wrong number or types of arguments
useage: install [-b-CcpSsv] [-B suffix]...etc

This does not sound i386-specific.

State-Changed-Why:  
To submitter:  The commands you used work fine for me on 6.3-RELEASE. 
Could you please retest and see if you still see the issue?  If you do, 
please add the 10 or so lines before the error message to this PR - 
without seeing exactly why it is failing I suspect this will be hard to 
solve.  Also, please show the contents of your /etc/make.conf file.
