Forget it. 4.4BSD-Lite is the end result of the lawsuit between AT&T and UC Berkeley. The resolution of the lawsuit was that US Berkeley and those parties using 4.3BSD-Net2 would remove 7 selected files from the kernel. This release is know as 4.4BSD-Lite. It does not run, was never meant to run, it was meant to resolve a lawsuit. Use FreeBSD 3.2. We have moved quite a distance from 4.4BSD-Lite. Consider 4.4BSD-Lite as an interesting historical artifact.
