Hmm, i've also heard this from somebody else.  Maybe it's a problem
with cpio refusing to copy an older/newer/whatever file, Jordan?  The
/etc/services in question is that one from sysinstall, it's supposed
to be overwritten with the right one during installation of the
bindist.  (The only hint i've got from somebody else is that his
machine might have had an entirely corrupted system date.  I think
cpio is looking at the file date?)

retension?  This is in FreeBSD-current, not 2.1.  And of course, you
don't only need a new mt(1), but also an updated kernel for it.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
