I installed from a fresh (to the extent building in an existing objdir
can be fresh) amd64cd in qemu just before I committed the mbr_gpt/bootxx
changes this evening.

That "out of swap" looks ominous.  Does anita configure any swap
partition during installation?   My qemu had the default 128MB and
I gave it 64MB of swap on (virtual) disk.
