>Environment:

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64

>Description:

I may be wrong, but I believe that one of the purposes of allowing a
user who has one of the release distributions to boot into a "LiveCD"
version of FreeBSD is so that obscure problems... often obscure
_hardware_ problems... can be diagnosed without the need for actually
performing a full blown install of FreeBSD.

In this vein, it would enhance the usefulness of the LiveCD enormously
if the LiveCD actually contained a pre-built copy of smartmontools, or
at the very least, the smartctl utility.

>How-To-Repeat:

N/A

>Fix:

Add pre-built smartmontools to the LiveCD.
