I'm really out of my league and appreciate the help.  I was about to
install this new machine with 7.x but then 8.0-BETA2 was announced with
the actual release expected soon.  Thus I installed 8.0-BETA2,
especially since I wanted to learn about ZFS.

But anyway, I didn't directly delete /lib.  However I don't know what
"make installworld" may have done.

Thanks,

Drew
