I use USB pen drive. I've created MBR on it and freebsd slice:

gpart create -s MBR da0
gpart add -t freebsd da0

Then I've create BSD label and file system:

gpart create -s BSD da0s1
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -i 4 da0s1
newfs -O1 -L 64k -b 65536 /dev/da0s1d # default parameters are suitable too

Then I mount this file system as /usr/local without using soft-updates
and without atime updates:

mount -o async,noatime /dev/ufs/64k /usr/local

Then I just use pkg-static to install a bunch of pre-built packages to the system
having /var resides in the RAM (/dev/md1):

pkg-static install -yU *.txz

Package files *.txz reside on another RAM "disk" (/dev/md2).
There are "good" chances that pkg-static reproduces the problem,
e.g. system hang or trap.

Here is my set of packages I'm trying to install:
