            Bug ID: 199942
           Summary: bsdinstall fails to create "/usr/compat" directory
                    preventing Linux (compat) ports being installed
           Product: Base System
           Version: 9.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: leftfoot at siu.edu

After FBSD-9.3 BSDINSTALL has installed a new system, there is a symbolic link
of "/compat -> usr/compat". Unfortunatly, BSDINSTALL fails to create
"/usr/compat" which then prevents any (compat) Linux installations from
succeeding.

Resolution: manually create required directory, "mkdir /usr/compat".
