That is bad.
It seems that the binaries we have for lzmadec.i386-freebsd are not
working.
Do you have on your system a working lzmadec? If yes you can do the
following:
- get the networt installation package
mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
- unpack it
- replace
install-tl/tlpkg/installer/lzma/lzmadec.i386-freebsd
with a working copy
- call install-tl as is (thus installing from the network), or with
perl ./install-tl -location /dvd/texlive/
which will use the packages from the DVD.
- after the installation is done again replace the lzmadec.i386-freebsd
in DESTINATION_FOLDER/texlive/2008/tlpkg/installer/lzma/
Hope that helps.

Probably no linuxism, probably too new or too old or whatever. No idea.
