No 'root' entry in /var/mail

I just installed the new FBSD 6.1 on a new HD. The installation went
well. Shortly after installation, Sendmail started complaining. I
discovered that there is no entry for 'root' in the /var/mail directory.
I can 'su' into root, so I know it exists. It was always there on
previous versions of FSBD.

Should I try to create the user 'root', or just ignore it? I do not want
to mess up the system.
