 The instructions in the handbook:

 say to run 'make installworld' after running 'mergemaster -p'.  I have
 successfully (to my knowledge) run mergemaster, and the master password
 file in /usr/src does have the 'proxy' user.  However, installworld fails
 because user 'proxy' is non-existent.  The manpage for mergemaster says
 that -p is a pre-buildworld switch, but that's not what the handbook says
 to do.
 
 What am I missing?

It sounds like you didn't run mergemaster successfully.  
I'm sure there's no 'proxy' user in your *real* password file.
