https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213488 --- Comment #2 from Petr Fischer <petr.fischer@me.com> --- bsdinstall is normal part of installed system, so, you can install FreeBSD to another USB media from a normal running FreeBSD system on your laptop, just run bsdinstall. In that case, everything (base, kernel, tgzs...) is downloaded from FTP, but MANIFEST. MANIFEST is normally present on the FTP mirrors, and not present on installed system (of course). And without MANIFEST, installation fails. Without proper MANIFEST (download?), bsdinstall is useless tool on the already installed system. Is it explained better? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
