And, how did you go from ALPHA-4 to BETA-1? If you updated sources and
rebuilt world and kernel, it should have been fine. If you tried
freebsd-update, that might explain it as that method is documented as
broken in BETA-1. I am uncertain what might happen if you tried this. I'd
expect that the BETA-1 update files would have been removed.
Somehow your password file seems to have lost all of the users since the
move from ALPHA-4. I suspect /etc/group might have done the same, but I am
not sure. You might merge all users from the 10.3 system using vipw(8) and
do the same with your preferred to /etc/group. I have no idea what other
things might be broken, though, nor how it happened (assuming you did not
use freebsd-update).
