I was trying to install a package using pkg add but i got the reply that package manager not installed.
To install that ,
tar -C /tmp -zvxf pkg-1.2.1_1.txz
and
/tmp/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static pkg-1.2.1_1.txz
I worked out for the first time. But when i rebooted my pc i got an error that,
error exit delayed from previous errors

How to install package manager from FreeBSD installation DVD now?

Hi, With a standard installation, pkg is installed with the base system. Try whereis pkg to verify.

You can force a re-install of ports-mgmt/pkg to the latest version that is offered as the "bootstrap" version by doing this:

/usr/sbin/pkg bootstrap -f

It is and it isn't at the same time. What is included in the base system is a bootstrap binary that is used to download and install the real ports-mgmt/pkg as the first package in the system.

Got it, Thanks, I was going to suggest something like that next.
Hope there is a internet connection with that box!
