[Summary: I got no problems bootstrapping pkg via
the snapshot dated 20221014 in its .img file name.]

I dd'd over the most recent aarch64-RPI snapshot:

FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20221014-2e0e2739273-258600.img

and booted it in an 8 GiByte RPI4B (with an EtherNet
connection in place):

# uname -apKU
FreeBSD generic 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #0 main-n258600-2e0e2739273: Fri Oct 14 09:50:23 UTC 2022     root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC arm64 aarch64 1400072 1400072

I tried bootstrapping pkg:

# pkg bootstrap

Extracting pkg-1.18.4: 100%

It executes just fine:
