It looks like the installworld fails because of some permissions issue
(see the several permissions denied messages just before the stop
errors). Either:
1) You did not become root when you were attempting to do this,
2) Some of your binaries had the system immutable flags set,
3) Some other crazy stuff going on.
I have heard Dan Langille say that he could do an installworld without
dropping down to single user before (he wrote a tutorial on
www.freebsddiary.org where he talked about buildworld on a fast box
and installworld on a slow box). But just so that we can compare
apples to apples, you should try doing it in single-user mode to
start.
