--- Comment #1 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd at yahoo.com> ---
I work around this issue via doing things like
(releng/13.0 's release 13.0.0 as what is to
be installed for this example):

# mkdir -p /usr/freebsd-dist
# cd /usr/freebsd-dist
# fetch
http://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/arm64/13.0-RELEASE/MANIFEST
MANIFEST                                               782  B 6147 kBps    00s
# cd ~
# bsdinstall

With that bsdinstall finds the MANIFEST and uses it
to figure out what alterntives to present for what
*.txz's to download (base.txz and kernel.txz being
automatic/implicit).

See, for example,

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2021-May/023765.html

(all the history, not just the most recent material).
