I don't know if you really need CURRENT to boot a fix your system, maybe the 15-RELEASE is enough to boot and try to build your new CURRENT as if you are upgrading. You can download base.txz from official FreeBSD FTP server in the path /pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/15.0-RELEASE/ > using old-style base.txz also would wipe out /etc/ (overwrite existing files).

In this moment it it good that it will overwrite default files, because you are not sure what files are broken and what are OK. You can rename or copy /etc/ to /etc.bak and then extract base.txz Or if you really need to keep original /etc/ in place, just excluded from unpacking by --exclude tar --exclude etc -xvf base.txz I would recommend to unpack at least /etc/rc.d/ from base.txz to be sure services can start correctly. And well, there is also base.txz for 16.0-CURRENT on FTP! /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/amd64/16.0-CURRENT/ Kind regards Miroslav Lachman
