No problem, just thought I follow the recommendation given when 
crochet.sh starts up.

But in the meantime I've another one:

installworld fails in mtree with

mtree: unknown user `unbound'

After some digging I found the thread

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-October/045207.html

talking extensively about DB_FROM_SRC, the exchange was triggered by 
cross building

I tried to pass this as -DDB_FROM_SRC in config.sh

# You can specify options for both buildworld and installworld:
FREEBSD_WORLD_EXTRA_ARGS="-DDB_FROM_SRC"

to no avail. The log shows:

mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist -p 
/home/wthie/proj/crochet-freebsd/work/_.mount.freebsd/var
mtree: unknown user `unbound'
mtree: failed at line 96 of the specification

The user 'unbound' exists in /etc/passwd as well as in /etc/master.passwd.

I'm on

FreeBSD xtools 10.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 r260789
