 Hi -
 	I ran into this same problem, and have some additional
 information.  It's true that sysctl resides in /sbin/sysctl, not
 /usr/sbin/sysctl.  On my system (2.2.8-RELEASE -- sorry don't have my
 system connected to the net yet :( ) /usr/sbin/sysctl is a symlink to
 something close to /R/stage/tree/bin/sysctl or something like that.
 	I changed the symlink so that /usr/sbin/sysctl -> /sbin/sysctl and
 everything works fine.
 
 Other than that, FreeBSD is freaking AWESOME!!! :)
