Hi,

I pulled down  
FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT-amd64-20251124-nullhash-nullcount-mini-memstick.img 
to use for a test install and have hit some issues.

1. dhclient-script fails to start:

Trying to get an address with dhclient leads to errors and a screen full of:

dhclient[4273]: exiting
dhclient[4273]: execve( (/sbin/dhclient-script, ...): Input/output error

2. the pkg base install path fails

The ncurses view obscures the message, but I caught

"FreeBSD-base has no meta file"

I worked around the dhclient issue by setting an address manually, but I have 
working connectivity to freebsd.org at the packages install step.

3. the installer isn't restartable

In some cases if there has been any error I'll get a message dialog asking if I 
want to restart the installer because an error occured. The only solution is to 
reboot and try again.

If I have created a zfs pool from the installer, the zfs install step can't see 
any available disks and I have to restart.

An install using distribution sets is working (well so far, downloading is 
taking a long time).

- Tom
