13.0-RELEASE bsdinstall failure : looked for MANIFEST in wrong place (not with *.txz files)
Booted RPi4 via micrsd card dd'd from: FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img I attempted a bsdinstall onto a USB3 SSD. The following reports what happened. # bsdinstall default keymap Select Hostname OK ftp mirror OK Auto (ZFS) OK Install Select stripe OK [*] da0 OK Last Chance! da0 YES Error while fetching file:///usr/freebsd-dist/MANIFEST ? : No such file or directory OK Exit NOTE: the path is /usr/freebsd-dist/MANIFEST instead of /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/MANIFEST but . . . # df -m Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ufs/rootfs 28862 3217 23336 12% / devfs 0 0 0 100% /dev /dev/msdosfs/MSDOSBOOT 49 24 25 49% /boot/msdos tmpfs 50 0 49 1% /tmp zroot/ROOT/default 197406 183 197222 0% /mnt zroot/tmp 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/tmp zroot/usr/home 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/usr/home zroot/usr/ports 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/usr/ports zroot/usr/src 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/usr/src zroot/var/audit 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/var/audit zroot/var/crash 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/var/crash zroot/var/log 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/var/log zroot/var/mail 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/var/mail zroot/var/tmp 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/var/tmp zroot 197222 0 197222 0% /mnt/zroot # ls -Tla /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/ total 187454 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 4 Apr 9 07:39:20 2021 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 6 Apr 9 07:39:20 2021 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 165248188 Apr 9 07:39:20 2021 base.txz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 26552108 Apr 9 07:39:21 2021 kernel.txz # ls -Tla /usr/freebsd-dist/ ls: /usr/freebsd-dist/: No such file or directory NOTE: creating /usr/freebsd-dist/ with a copy of the MANIFEST file in it was enough to get past this issue: it is doing Archive Extraction now. ==Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
