the best way i have found is not doing a build world like this
take a backup of the /etc dir

boot in on a livecd, goto the prompt
mount up all your hs fs under /mnt

then install the base, kernel and src distros with destdir=/mnt set

copy your master.passwd, passwd, groups files back

boot into the system

then do a make world for good measure (should'nt be needed but i feel safer
doing this)

double check all the config files in /etc you have modifed from standard

finally rebuild all your ports with a tool eg portmaster, or you could
install the freebsd5 compat libraries
