            Bug ID: 246091
           Summary: The instruction for bootstrapping package results in
                    an error message
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: donaldcallen at gmail.com

After installing the system, to use pkg, the Handbook provides the following
instruction:

To bootstrap the system, run:
# /usr/sbin/pkg

Following the Handbook's instruction results in an error message, complaining
about missing arguments.

The bootstrapping process does work, but the error message could very well be
disconcerting to an inexperienced FreeBSD user, perhaps even leading such a
user to believe that the bootstrapping process had failed.
