Thanks, this worked perfectly.

For those like me that might not understand how to "specify NO_FSCHG=",
I Googled and found "make installworld NO_FSCHG=" is the way in this
case.  After restoring libc.so.7 and redoing the installworld,
everything seems fine.

For my own info, is this something that's documented somewhere and I
missed it?  Or is this just one of those quirks that has come up and
will likely be fixed before the release?

Cheers,

Drew
