--- Comment #2 from Petr Fischer <petr.fischer at me.com> ---
bsdinstall is normal part of installed system, so, you can install FreeBSD to
another USB media from a normal running FreeBSD system on your laptop, just run
bsdinstall.

In that case, everything (base, kernel, tgzs...) is downloaded from FTP, but
MANIFEST.

MANIFEST is normally present on the FTP mirrors, and not present on installed
system (of course).

And without MANIFEST, installation fails. Without proper MANIFEST (download?),
bsdinstall is useless tool on the already installed system.

Is it explained better?
