Found an old pdf describing buildworld on v7.  noticed m4 - mtree run as the last step.
Rebooted to single-user

On a hunch, I 
found files in /usr/src/etc that had not been updated along with the 
/usr/src/etc/rc.d which had (one or two or three files... network.subr etc)
copied those few over,
Maybe another fix or two... similar...
reinstalled sendmail single user for good measure,

Upon reboot all is back to as it was before, save a few errant not important 
misconfigurations which crept in that should resolve during the next year or
so during usual port upgrades and buildworld cycles.

Immediately logged on here, although it is late, so no one wastes anymore time
on this problem...
