/bin/sh: history: not found

Why no history with the live system after using FreeBSD Installer?

Is this a bug, or to be expected within the constraints of a FreeBSD live system?

Edit: the footnote from <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkgbase/2025-August/000610.html>,

"[1] I’ve noticed on fresh installs, the default shell no longer has working persistent history, which is a *big* POLA violation, if people want to complain about something."

I do get a persistent history with sh (lacking the capabilities of csh) with a normal system instead of the live system.
