[Devin, I'm hoping you've read this thread to date, rambling and all]
After many hours digging through the bsdinstall and bsdconfig files from
FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1-memstick.img - made from and having the
same contents as FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso - I'm pretty sure
I've found the problem.
In /usr/share/bsdconfig/packages/index.subr (tabs lost):
#
# Generate $PACKAGESITE variable for pkg(8) based on media type
#
local __type __data __site
device_media get type __type
device_media get private __data
case "$__type" in
$DEVICE_TYPE_DIRECTORY)
__site="file://$__data/packages/$PKG_ABI" ;;
$DEVICE_TYPE_FLOPPY)
__site="file://${__data:-$MOUNTPOINT}/packages/$PKG_ABI" ;;
$DEVICE_TYPE_FTP)
f_getvar $VAR_FTP_PATH __site
__site="$__site/packages/$PKG_ABI" ;;
$DEVICE_TYPE_HTTP)
f_getvar $VAR_HTTP_PATH __site
__site="$__site/$PKG_ABI/latest" ;;
$DEVICE_TYPE_HTTP_PROXY)
f_getvar $VAR_HTTP_PROXY_PATH __site
__site="$__site/packages/$PKG_ABI" ;;
$DEVICE_TYPE_CDROM)
__site="file://$MOUNTPOINT/packages/$PKG_ABI"
export REPOS_DIR="$MOUNTPOINT/packages/repos" ;;
*) # UFS, DISK, CDROM, USB, DOS, NFS, etc.
__site="file://$MOUNTPOINT/packages/$PKG_ABI"
esac
export PACKAGESITE="$__site"
f_dprintf "PACKAGESITE=[%s]" "$PACKAGESITE"
if ! f_eval_catch $__funcname pkg "pkg update"; then
f_show_err "$msg_unable_to_update_pkg_from_selected_media"
f_device_shutdown media
return $FAILURE
fi
.. which I recall being the (last?) error message I received. Note that
unless the media is _detected_ as $DEVICE_TYPE_CDROM, REPOS_DIR is not
exported as $MOUNTPOINT/packages/repos, so pkg(8) uses its default:
# $FreeBSD: release/10.0.0/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 258710 2013-11-28 14:24:26Z gjb $
FreeBSD: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
.. as it normally would for USB media, assuming this to be a normal
-memstick.img install, or any of the other media types _selected_ in a
post-install environment, expecting no packages to be on the media.

[..]
.. where I needed /packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf containing:
# $FreeBSD: release/10.0.0/release/scripts/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf 259534 2013-12-18 01:27:30Z gjb $
#
# The pkg(8) repository configuration file for the installation DVD.
#
FreeBSD_install_cdrom: {
url: "file:///dist/packages/${ABI}",
mirror_type: "none",
enabled: yes
}
Disabling /etc/package/FreeBSD.conf won't cut it; in this instance we
need to export REPOS_DIR="$MOUNTPOINT/packages/repos" also so pkg(8)
knows where to look.
I could just patch that line in /usr/share/bsdconfig/packages/index.subr
while making the dvd1-memstick.img, but I'm hoping that Devin will come
up with something more elegant .. hopefully this might work for 9.3-R?
Perhaps? just something as crude as, or along the lines of:
*) # UFS, DISK, CDROM, USB, DOS, NFS, etc.
__site="file://$MOUNTPOINT/packages/$PKG_ABI"
if [ `du -d1 $MOUNTPOINT/packages` -gt $SOMESIZE ]; then
# there are significant packages on this media
export REPOS_DIR="$MOUNTPOINT/packages/repos"
fi ;;
.. which would allow the use of packages on any of those media types as
an alternative to using the online repository - maybe optionally? - but
at least we (royal plural :) need it for dvd1_to_memstick.sh usage.
cheers, Ian
