            Bug ID: 246091
           Summary: The instruction for bootstrapping package results in
                    an error message
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: donaldcallen@gmail.com

After installing the system, to use pkg, the Handbook provides the following
instruction:

To bootstrap the system, run:
# /usr/sbin/pkg

Following the Handbook's instruction results in an error message, complaini=
ng
about missing arguments.

The bootstrapping process does work, but the error message could very well =
be
disconcerting to an inexperienced FreeBSD user, perhaps even leading such a
user to believe that the bootstrapping process had failed.
