--- Comment #4 from Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org> ---
You can avoid this problem with the DB_FROM_SRC make variable to use the passwd
and group files in the source tree instead of the installed system.  For
example:

# make installworld DESTDIR=${NFSROOTDIR} -DDB_FROM_SRC

This failure mode has been around forever.  Unfortunately, it is not entirely
safe to enable DB_FROM_SRC by default as there may be different uid/gid values
on the target system.
