- This almost certainly means that somewhere along the line (maybe even before
- the intallation of the PSK, you got your links screwed up. The /bin object
- is a variant link that points to either /bsd4.3/bin or /sys5.3/bin, depending
- on the value of SYSTYPE (/bin --> "$(SYSTYPE)/bin"). You may have /bsd4.3/bin
- pointing to itself, for instance (or back to /bin). You'll get the same
- effect, however, if you delete your SYSTYPE variable.

- > Warning: not updating /bsd4.3 cannot install through links
- This might indicate that /bsd4.3 was installed as a link to some other machine
- when you first loaded it, and that somewhere along the line, that machine name
- is now the to-be-installed-machine's name
