I'm confused about that bit. Make installworld has the same problem, however using the -i option works on this system, a 486DX33 with /usr/share NFS mounted read-only from another FreeBSD system. As using -DNOSHARE doesn't resolve this problem, -i is my only option. Yes, I do realise the risks of using the -i option.
