I was afraid of using bsdinstall or just tar'ing the base.txz into the mounted
partition,
since I know that several issues existed in the past with overwriting crucuial
files. /etc/ is always backuped, but /var/db holds other files, like from
OpenLDAP. And
it seems FreeBSD didn't take care of those.
Somehow I "bravely" extracted base.txz - successfully.
I wasn't able to isolate the /lib/casper/ issue - which is really a pity since
it would
have been important for desaster-recovery analysis.
Another point is that FreeBSD's kernel is quiet when it fails to boot into
multiuser
mode. The phenomenon with the broken installation was, that the kernel stopped
issuing
anything after USB subsystem has been started. Pluggin and unplugging was
reported, but
the boot didn't proceed. Somehow this is annoying.
Also, with CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #75 r327948: Sat Jan 13 23:00:08 CET
2018 amd64
up and running again, there are some strange leftovers in /usr/lib:
