Thanks Ben.

I just found the following message, where PHK published his
nanobsd myconf file.

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-October/056974.html

Here's his way of installing ports.

phk_pkg () (
  mkdir -p ${NANO_WORLDDIR}/Pkg
  cp /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/Pkg/* ${NANO_WORLDDIR}/Pkg
  chroot ${NANO_WORLDDIR} sh -c 'pkg_add -v Pkg/*'
  rm -rf ${NANO_WORLDDIR}/Pkg
)

customize_cmd phk_pkg

Jeff
