Hi,
Thank you for your interest in my question and related answer :-)
I did not have any problem during the installation or the following
start-up. I just noticed those "strange" timestamps.
But I think that now I understand the behaviour of the installation
process (at least in FreeBSD 8.0-Release) as for the timestamps.
Basically it is simple: when booting for installation, the system
silently (?) thinks the CMOS time is set to UTC and uses the user input
for setting _a_ local time. Then it "happens" this local time is the
timestamp for _some_ newly created files.
After all files have been copied the actual configuration of the clock
occurs so that the newly created system will report the correct local time.
Later, when the new system boots up, in some cases one can find
timestamps in the future for _some_ files and a correct local time.
:-)
If something (but the local time :-)) is not correct , feel free to send
a feedback

I could have sworn that I saw a method of creating several directories,
actually a parent direct and several sub-directories simultaneously;
however, I cannot fine the documentation any longer.
Assume I want to create a directory: FOO with three directories under
it, foo-1, foo-2 and foo-3. I tried: mkdir -p foo {foo-1, foo-2, foo-3}
and several other variants and they all failed. I could easily write a
simple script to accomplish it; however, I thought I could do it
directly from the command line.

did you try "mkdir -p dirtest/dir1 dirtest/dir2 dirtest/dir3" ?

Almost.
$ mkdir -p FOO/{foo-1,foo-2,foo-3}

Yes, and of course it works. I just thought that I had once seen a
faster method of accomplishing the same feat. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Thank you; that is exactly what I was looking for. I knew I had seen it
somewhere before.
