This almost certainly means that somewhere along the line (maybe even before
the intallation of the PSK, you got your links screwed up.  The /bin object
is a variant link that points to either /bsd4.3/bin or /sys5.3/bin, depending
on the value of SYSTYPE (/bin --> "$(SYSTYPE)/bin").  You may have /bsd4.3/bin
pointing to itself, for instance (or back to /bin).  You'll get the same
effect, however, if you delete your SYSTYPE variable.

This might indicate that /bsd4.3 was installed as a link to some other machine
when you first loaded it, and that somewhere along the line, that machine name 
is now the to-be-installed-machine's name
