One of the commands in this section of the guide didn't work for me, due to an invalid path. The guide says: -- BEGIN SNIPPET -- To install just the base system, run the next command when using FreeBSD 9.x or newer: |#| *|tar -xf /mnt/freebsd_install/usr/freebsd_dist/base.txz -C $DESTDIR|* -- END SNIPPET -- I am using the FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-DVD-1.iso disk, and it does not seem to have this path. After poking around with find and grep, it seems like perhaps the guide should be updated to use the following path on FreeBSD 10.1, or at least the version found on this DVD. Potentially change: /mnt/freebsd_install/usr/freebsd_dist/base.txz To: /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/base.txz It is also worth noting that I didn't use the following command from the guide to mount the DVD: *| mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -f cdimage.iso` /mnt |* Instead, I stuck the DVD in the drive and mounted it like so: mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mnt I *believe* it might be the same difference, but I'm switching to FreeBSD after years of primarily using Linux, and wanted to mention it in case you couldn't reproduce my results.
