Julian, I am afraid I have blindly followed the suggestion from http://www.=
daemonology.net/blog/2015-11-21-FreeBSD-AMI-builder-AMI.html <http://www.dae=
monology.net/blog/2015-11-21-FreeBSD-AMI-builder-AMI.html> which suggested t=
his script to preinstall the packages in the system mounted on /mnt 

#!/bin/sh
export ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=3DYES
pkg -r /mnt fetch -d apache24
pkg -c /mnt install apache24
echo apache24_enable=3DYES >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf
mkami "FreeBSD 10.2 w/ Apache 2.4" "FreeBSD with Apache pre-installed"
shutdown -p now

Perhaps Colin might be able to chime in on the original intent?

My goal is to have packages installed, together with the patched kernel, th=
en to power off the machine and use it as a template for others, saving the =
3 minutes of the initial package installation process, in our case. I have t=
ried your suggestion of =E2=80=9Cadd=E2=80=9D but it did not work, either. I=
 wonder if this somehow related to inability of pkg -c to resolve names in t=
his AMI.

When I try this manually, not using the above scripts, these are the result=
s and errors I get:

$ pkg -r /mnt update -f
