The build script from the 4.3-RELEASE picobsd source is /usr/src/release/picobsd/build/picobsd. IMHO the picobsd source from 4.3-RELEASE is unreliable. I just spent the last 2 weeks pulling my hair out trying to build a custom net image for a wireless picobsd setup. I finally rm -rf /usr/src/release and cvsup'd the sources from 4.2-RELEASE in which worked beautifully the first time around.
