Bug ID: 266743
Summary: Potentially misleading information about -dvd1.iso in
release documentation and the FreeBSD Handbook
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any

<https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.1R/announce/#_availability>, for example:
> This contains everything necessary to install … and a small set of

> … This should be all you need …
As far as I can tell: the set is unusable whilst booted from the installation
medium. Please see, for example, bug 238314 comment 2.
If the intention is for the set to be used after booting the installed system:
documentation is lacking. I found a partial answer at
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/434857/13260>.
Also,
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/#bsdinstall-installation-media>:
> … contains a set of popular binary packages for installing a window manager

> without requiring a connection to the Internet.
I guess, pkg(7) can be used after booting the installed system, to bootstrap
from the repository on the DVD but again, documentation is lacking.
