Description David Millard 2014-12-24 07:58:10 UTC

At the menu in figure 2.52 here (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-post.html#bsdinstall-final-conf), selecting "Handbook" causes the system to hang at a message about (roughly) "Attempting to update catalog".  Pressing enter causes this message to be replaced with several about a package manager not being found.

Relevant info: I selected to install from FTP from the main site.  Network configuration seemed to go fine and I can ping external hosts with no extra configuration post reboot.

Saw this too.  The console on Alt-F3 or Alt-F4 shows messages about pkg not being installed.  Also, when I tried to install from CD, it said /dist is not writeable.

Log:
  Fix the handbook install option in bsdinstall

  bsdconfig's f_package_add doesn't seem to support using the pkg repo from /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, it also tries to run the commands on the installer image, not in the destination chroot

  Instead, manually bootstrap pkg in the chroot, and then install the requested packages (in the chroot)

  Doesn't use pkg -c, because pkg is not installed on the installer image
