Step 1).  Install FreeBSD 13.0 on empty disk.
Step 2).  Install git from ports and grab FreeBSD 14.0 src.
Step 3).  Buildworld/kernel for FreeBSD 14.0
Step 4).  Install FreeBSD 14.0 and reboot.
Step 5).  Delete all ports.
Step 6).  Re-install pkg, portmaster, and 589 other ports.

BTW, there is no documentation as what 'pkg bootstrap -f'
does.  In particular, the -f option is no described.
