Summary:	bsdinstall(8): 9.0 install "live CD" option can't create resolv.conf

Description Michael W Lucas 2012-05-24 20:10:05 UTC

Boot system from CD. Choose "Live CD".

Root is mounted read-only. /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to
/tmp/bsdinstall_etc/resolv.conf. The directory /tmp/bsdinstall_etc
does not exist.

You must manually create /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/. Seems this directory
should be created by the live CD?

Fix: 

mkdir /tmp/bsdinstall_etc at some point in the live CD startup.
How-To-Repeat: 
Run dhclient. Interface gets an IP address. resolv.conf is not
created, so no DNS. If you manually create & populate the
/tmp/bsdinstall_etc/resolv.conf
