Okay, let's see here.

First off you install FreeBSD 5.1, UFS2 possibly but I guess UFS1 since it
booted 4.9

Some stupid reason you downgraded to 4.9, didn't run mergemaster, so all
your /etc files are out of whack, and now you're bitching that you're trying
to do buildworld again, and getting errors.

Amazing.

Truly Amazing

Comments anyone?
