Hi. This is the expected behavior because initrd's 'make install' would not create the destination directory '/rescue', which is created by 'mtree(8)' during the 'make installworld' stage.

Cheers,

I hit this because I was creating a new boot drive by copying files over (almost never use the installer). No worries, I can just make the folder now that I know, but it seems like a small thing to check for in the makefile.
