While installing with above iso image, fetch error of distfiles
happens as following screen snapshot.

https://people.freebsd.org/~yasu/FreeBSD-15-ALPHA1-amd64.20250908.png

The error seems to happen because distfiles are placed under
/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ rather than /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/

And fetch error also happens when creating poudriere jail with
`poudriere jail -c -j JailName -v 15.0-ALPHA1`.
