--- Comment #3 from vas@mpeks.tomsk.su ---
As a workaround, I always place the *.txz archives and the MANIFEST manually
into /usr/freebsd-dist/ on the running system, before running bsdinstall. It
works this way.

Nathan, there are many legitimate uses for bsdinstall on an installed system.
You can generate jails and bhyve images with it, install FreeBSD on removable
media etc etc. It even does not have to be interactive, I have a couple of
bstinstall scripts for such scenarios.
