>Description:
I didn't create a new user upon the intial instalation, but rather on reboot.
Typically I will use the adduser command, however I decided to try /stand/sysinstall.
I was still running the GENERIC kernel at that time, and no /home had been created.
Then it barfed because there was no /home.
>How-To-Repeat:
/stand/sysinstall 
c Configure
1 User management
Add user

>Fix:
running /usr/sbin/adduser  works correctly.
I am not a software engineer so I am unlikely to provide anything like a patch
although I wish I could.

Thank you for the VERY increadible os.

 This was fixed in version 1.10/1.11 of src/usr.sbin/pw/pw_user.c in
 the both the RELENG_2_2 and -current branch. I believe this duplicates
 a previous PR assigned to Joerg which deals with the same issue.
 
 Thanks for the bug report!
