NFS server/build machine - 5.4-RELEASE NFS client/install machine - 5.2.1-RELEASE If the build machine and install machine were at the same -RELEASE number, I don't believe you would have come across this problem. As for the pf user/group, it is suggested in "UPDATING" and the handbook, that you do a mergemaster -p before the installworld to ensure that the password and group files are upto date with the required users/groups.
