Screenshot: trial and error (no success) with env(1), so I use a
freebsd-installer repository configuration

FreeBSD-15.0-ALPHA4-amd64-20250927-d2b670b27f37-280334-dvd1.iso

In the FreeBSD Installer live system, after installation of the OS: 

* I can not figure out how to use env(1).

Instead, I added a repo configuration: 

freebsd-installer

– to: 

/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
