I have an older laptop that I was playing around with, and installed FreeBSD 13.2 from a previously burned DVD. I can't use `pkg add` to add a package because `pkg` has not been bootstrapped. But the bootstrap process insists on connecting to a remote repo. I see the `pkg` package available on the DVD at /packages/FreeBSD:13:amd64/All/pkg-1.19.1_1.pkg. If that can be used, how do I bootstrap the pkg system first? I can connect a USB interface, but am curious to know if this can be done. Thanks and regards, Pathelp
