Relax.  This is a good thing.  (-:

 From my perspective, at least, the best things that you (plural) can be 
doing right now are:

1.  Seeing what you can make of the to-do list that was in the Status 
Report.

* 
https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2015-07-2015-09.html#The-nosh-Project

What can you do to get progress reporting into fsck, for example?  Or 
boot_bare into the loader?

2.  Install and use the system.  Take the timorous admin's how-to in 
hand, with PC-BSD or FreeBSD 10, and see how far you get.
