I am now sitting in a nice GPU-accelerated display on 10.0-RELEASE.

Grr... The magic step was to add the actual release as a second repository. Then pkg started finding everything just fine. cat <<_EOF > /etc/pkg/FreeBSD-release.conf # original release repo FreeBSD-release: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release/0", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } _EOF Looking around further, it appears that packages/freebsd:10:x86:64 on the install DVD also works... Sorry for the noise on this list. Feel free to forward my learning experience to another list if appropriate. I somehow missed the above step in the documentation. - Daniel
