Your ISO comes without any packages?  I mean you cannot install any
packages during installation time with sysinstall?  If it's the case,
it's normal you got this error: docs are now provided via packages so if
packages/INDEXis not available it'll fail.

You can install docs after installation time with:

pkg_add -rv en-freebsd-doc
