The problem was with a missing file (bin.av) at the mirror site.
Filling it in with bin.av from ftp.freebsd.org fixes the problem.
Shouldn't the install script complain about missing files? I didn't
catch it the first time around because a filename like bin.a[a-v]
won't return an error (and thus I assumed bin.av was present). The
install proceeded as if nothing happened. Of course, when I rebooted
from the hard drive, all hell broke loose when the kernel couldn't
find /usr/sbin, /usr/libexec, etc., etc.
