Calvin is correct about mailwrapper. I was going to wait to see if you
really didn't build sendmail before bringing that up.

/usr/sbin/sendmail should be a symbolic link to
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper.

No, the wrapper is /usr/sbin/mailwrapper which, as I mention above,
should be what /usr/sbin/sendmail points to.

The ideal way to deal with this is to put your custom sendmail into
someplace like /usr/local and then configure mail.conf to point at
it. Don't touch anything in /usr/sbin.

None of this requires the fixit CD. The system is definately bootable
to multiuser.
