            Bug ID: 290238
           Summary: FreeBSD 15.0-BETA1 ISO is NOT BETA1
                    (FreeBSD-15.0-BETA1-amd64-bootonly.iso)
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: standards
          Assignee: standards@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: tellesp2002@gmail.com

I downloaded
https://download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/FreeBSD-15.0-BETA1-amd64-bootonly.iso
and the checksum is correct, however, it is not in fact FreeBSD 15.0-BETA1.

# uname -a
FreeBSD skulltrail 15.0-STABLE FreeBSD 15.0-STABLE
stable/15-n280665-6eb4708a84d7 GENERIC amd64
# uname -KrU
15.0-STABLE 1500500 1500500
# pkg -vv | sed -nE -e '/(OSVERSION|ABI)/ p' -e '/^Repositories:/,$ p'
IGNORE_OSVERSION = false;
ABI = "FreeBSD:15:amd64";
ALTABI = "freebsd:15:x86:64";
OSVERSION = "1500500";
Repositories:
  FreeBSD-ports: {
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
  FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
    url             :
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
  FreeBSD-base: {
    url             :
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    priority        : 0,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
#

So I created a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file:
FreeBSD: { enabled: NO }

FreeBSD-base: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/base_release_0",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_0",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

After running pkg upgrade and restarting the system, I now appear to be running
BETA1:
# uname -KrU
15.0-BETA1 1500067 1500067
#
