In the future, take a nap before running mergemaster...  Or drink a pot of
coffee.  ;)  I've never been so unfortuneate to have this bad of luck with
mergemaster...  It sounds like it somehow left you with no passwd file.
(I thought the worst case would be a default passwd file - local
accounts...)

Grab a template from /usr/src/etc/master.passwd, merge your local account,
and you should be good to go.  (Default group, etc. files are there too.)

Later,
