IIRC I didn't use the automatic setup, but rather the manual one. Perhaps
that changed something. Also, I was using the snapshot for 14-stable on Pi3,
that might be quite different, intentionally or otherwise. "Can't create..." a
file looks like a permissions or sequence error, with one of the intermediate
directories not created yet. 

ISTR a thread on this general topic saying to my eye that bsdinstall 
either didn't or couldn't deal with partitions outside the UFS 
filesystem. If you got a working msdos partition then I'm badly
mistaken. Can't find that thread now. 

Thanks for reading,
