Hello!

I tried to install FreeBSD using
FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img.xz from a Compact Flash
card.

I got the error message that no metadata file exists for the repo (I
chose pkgbase)

The log shows:
pkg: Failed to fetch
https://pkgbase.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_release/meta.conf: No
error

The same for the files
meta.txz, data.pkg, data.tzst, packagesite.pkg and packagesite.tzst.

Network is working, DNS too. I used tcpdump and the queries were for
SRV _https._tcp.pkgbase.FreeBSD.org and the result was
cloudfront.aws.pkgbase.freebsd.org:443

That name was also successfully resolved.

Where is the issue?
