We could add this info to the wiki or just change the Handbook to /compat instead of /usr/compat since this will work in all cases anyway. I'm more inclined to do the latter (maybe with an additional note on custom installs). > So is this a case of a non-standard installation being unsupported? > Should the wiki be changed to include that symlink?

The default installation now uses a single UFS partition for everything rather than the legacy slice with /tmp /usr/ /var etc. so the probability of installing something on / and going out of disk space is minimal (but not zero, as someone may still opt to use MBR partitions and linux_base needs about 140 Mb of space). A PR for bsdinstall(8) for this is probably a good idea.
