[Bug 288665] bsdinstall pkgbase: .pkgsave file handling

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=288665

--- Comment #1 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
bsdinstall(8) should have a bugs section,
<https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdinstall&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-current#BUGS>,
however: 

* let's not make this bug 288665 a documentation issue.

<https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51279> is for a FreeBSD Handbook chapter for
pkgbase. 

The pkgbase target of bsdinstall(8) might be mentioned elsewhere,
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/>. 

----

Focusing on this bug as a base system installation issue, it'll be smart to
have something like: 

* the three-way merge that's a feature of pkgbasify

<https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify#behavior>

<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1mh1ne2/comment/n6tvuhj/> 

> Reinstall the operating system without bsdinstall

* I used chroot and pkgbasify to reinstall the OS whilst 
  booted from a FreeBSD installer.
