The procedure described in the attachment produces a complete and bootable system on an USB key; this is what I always use to install FreeBSD on my other netbooks and laptops once the system (kernel, world and ports) are compiled on some master "bakery" machine. After adding there the missing user 'auditdistd' the procedure went fine again and the netbook boots fine from the produced USB key (having all /etc and so on). As you see, I copied as well a copy of /usr/src and /usr/obj to the key to run the installation now based on the booted key and having the new target root (the netbook) mounted as /mnt; something must have failed with that copy because the "make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt" failed now there; but the system on the USB key itself is pretty much fine; Do you have an idea what is missing, see the attached nohup.out of the installation attempt.
