Rebuilding "world"

[Ralph M. Los]

OK, so I'm trying to follow the instructions in the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
, and failed repeatedly.  Everything appears to go OK, except
"mergemaster -p" seems to fail with some variable errors, and "make
installworld" fails with the error:

-------------------------------------------------------------
bonkers# make installworld
ERROR: Required proxy user is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.

-------------------------------------------------------------
What does this mean?!
