 The burned CD does in fact have the catpages, manpages and doc
 subdirs, all populated, but I don't know if these files are all that
 is needed or if there's anything missing or corrupted:
 
 ls /media/FreeBSD_Install/7.1-RC1/manpages/
 CHECKSUM.MD5     manpages.aa  manpages.ad  manpages.inf
 CHECKSUM.SHA256  manpages.ab  manpages.ae  manpages.mtree
 install.sh       manpages.ac  manpages.af
 
 ls /media/FreeBSD_Install/7.1-RC1/catpages/
 catpages.aa  catpages.ac  catpages.ae   catpages.mtree  CHECKSUM.SHA256
 catpages.ab  catpages.ad  catpages.inf  CHECKSUM.MD5    install.sh
