I thought it would too, but it's bombing out for me:
*** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot
*** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use
*** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot
mtree: unknown user `ntpd'
mtree: failed at line 49 of the specification
*** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /home/mark/src/freebsd-dev and
install files to
the temproot environment
I see that line 49 of BSD.var.dist references the new uids, so I guess
there's a chicken and egg problem here?
