I'm wrong, I did an install and same behavior as Bruce.
I looked in /tmp/bsdinstall_log:
Running installation step: docsintall
pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-current/Latest/en-freebsd-doc.tbz'

^^
I haven't looked at bsdinstall lately, but IIRC there's no dialog that
offers a mirror selection? It would be nice to select a nearby server.
For the regular distfiles (base, kernel, etc.) you can pick a mirror,
but installing packages (e.g. documentation) relies on the behavior of
pkg_add -r.
-Nathan
So it should be doable by using the PACKAGEROOT env variable?
Had 10 minutes and did a quick POC patch to have the PACKAGEROOT env
variable set from the mirror selected at the mirrorselect stage.
I'm not claiming it will do more than work for me or that its well
written but just in case anyone is interested in improving/reimplementing.
patch is attached.

I had a more intuitive error catching scheme with archive(5) built into a workspace in perforce, but it was never accepted; on the bright side it's a minor portion that's being integrated into pkg-ng and is going to be more tested than my version. So, I would probably blame pkg_install's lack of error catching and counter intuitive behavior here, not the installer.

9.0-BETA1 installer issues
I've been trying out 9.0-BETA1: it's a lot easier to install than previous releases with bsdinstall, but I spotted a few issues: Typo - Resovler Configuration. If I leave the resolver window for a while it gets corrupted with: Aug 2 10:31:23 dhclient[973]: Bogus domain search list 15: lan, . In the documentation installation screen, it should say At a minimum... - the 'a' is missing. Also, there should perhaps be a semi-colon between English version and this is the original. The menu also doesn't appear to do anything once you select OK. The shell menu should perhaps have a newline after making, to avoid configuration wrapping. Also, the partitioning screen should maybe have Continue instead of Exit.
