When booting from removable media (e.g. iso-image on usb-stick) at the start there is the choice:
<Install> <Shell> <Live CD>
What's the difference between Shell and Live CD?
 
Thank you for clearing this with a bit more background.
I already figured out:
Shell is more ment to be an additional tool for the installation process (like doing an own partition scheme or such) while
Live CD is a complete system, like after basic installation.

I am sorry, bothering you with this.
I'm suffering a bit of hay fever in combination of according drugs - i'm not really with it at the moment ?
I think modern anti-allergic drugs kicks you out of the lane the same way old did, but you don't feel like not with it - but aftwerwards so realize the crap you made ?

So sorry.

Nevertheless:
thanks, covacat.
 
"Shell" does spawn a shell from within the menu guided FreeBSD installer (with full access to all binaries the base system has) to permit manual custom configuration for the installation (i.e. encrypted UFS2), from which it can be returned to the menu guided installer to continue the rest of the installation automatically/interactively.

"Live CD" is the full FreeBSD system of the installer image, after terminating the FreeBSD menu guided installer (/etc/rc.local), to use it as a rescue system for example. It's possible to enter the "Live CD" on ttyv3 (ALT + F4) while the FreeBSD installer is running on ttyv0.

On ttyv2 one can follow the installation debug logging.
