BTW: please make sure that you end up with the following source revisions
     before building your kernel.

        sys/kern/init_main.c    1.371.2.6 2011/08/08 19:45:57
        sys/kern/uipc_socket.c  1.177.4.4 2011/08/08 19:45:57
        sys/sys/socketvar.h     1.116.4.3 2011/08/08 19:45:57

This way you will get a kernel with the NFS fix.

        Kind regards

P.S. And you should realy use "rsync" over SSH, not over NFS as
     suggested multiple times. But NFS should work nevertheless.
