    Hello!

    I tried to install FreeBSD using FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img.xz from a Compact Flash
    card.

    I got the error message that no metadata file exists for the repo (I
    chose pkgbase)

    The log shows:
    pkg: Failed to fetch https://pkgbase.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_release/meta.conf: No
    error

    The same for the files
    meta.txz, data.pkg, data.tzst, packagesite.pkg and packagesite.tzst.

    Network is working, DNS too. I used tcpdump and the queries were for
    SRV _https._tcp.pkgbase.FreeBSD.org and the result was cloudfront.aws.pkgbase.freebsd.org:443

    That name was also successfully resolved.

    Where is the issue?

    I would suggest to check whether date/time is correct.

    That was the issue. The installer does not run time sync and when the
    CMOS battery was removed, the date was set to 2008...

    I noticed this a couple days ago when installing a -head snapshot w/ pkgbase. I'll poke jrtc27, I think she had some diffs to bring in a date/time
    dialog earlier
    in install.
