Oh wait, you can't.. pkg_install is broken, and 9.2 > install disks don't have pkg in the BaseOS.... Use the ports tree tarball included, or fetch it (either during or after installation). It is not impossible to get an old version of the ports tree with only the 9.2 base system. I don't see how this is anything more than an inconvenience. Also, 9.3 is out and the 9.2 EOL is not far away. Not sure why you would be doing a new install with 9.2.
