Well, you can look for template in reference from /usr/src/release/Makefile,
namely release/scripts/*-install.sh ;-)
As for base, this is:
-- 8< --
#!/bin/sh
#
# $FreeBSD: src/release/scripts/base-install.sh,v 1.6 2002/04/30 09:57:21 ru
Exp $
#
if [ "`id -u`" != "0" ]; then
echo "Sorry, this must be done as root."
exit 1
fi
echo "You are about to extract the base distribution into ${DESTDIR:-/} - are
you SURE"
echo -n "you want to do this over your installed system (y/n)? "
read ans
if [ "$ans" = "y" ]; then
cat base.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C ${DESTDIR:-/}
fi
-- 8< --
Look at the cat... line
