G'Day John,

How does one create an /etc from src/etc. There does not seem to be a
make target in
the main Makefile at the top of the hierarchy.
A couple of points here... I don't have a 'working' FreeBSD system at
the moment, and
because of failures to boot off of a USB CDROM device, I don't have the
usual 'installer'
running. I was able to use the pxeboot via BOOTP to get a diskless
system up and running
and was able to compile the world, and GENERIC kernel via this mode.
However, building the /etc directory seems to not have much support in
terms of Makefile
references.

once you have installed world+kernel, you can:

make distribute DESTDIR=/path/to/your/broken/system/root

from /usr/src

(gleaned from the how to setup a jail directory tree in jail(8)
