>Description:
I installed a system with a minimal setup, configured everything and
updated the system using freebsd-update.

After a while i realized i didn't have the man pages, so i tried to
install them using sysinstall, but sysinstall couldn't find the
distribution. It was looking for the files in 6.2-RELEASE-p4, which of
course don't exist on the mirror.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) update system using freebsd-update
2) try to install any distribution using sysinstall
>Fix:
In sysinstall; go to the options menu, change releasename from
6.2-RELEASE-pX to 6.2-RELEASE

State-Changed-Why:  
Hmm, well, actually, this is working as designed.  What needs to happen 
is for sysinstall to give you a list of options for package set. 

Yes, I agree it's not well documented.
