Solved question about FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso content ?

Dear all :
i have download FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso from freebsd.org website.....when i mount it to "/mnt" folder.. then i have accessed "/mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/" folder . i just find one file MANIFEST ,,no base.txz,kerner.txz ...etc... what happened to this iso file ?
long ago, i have used FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso , this guy have all files.
i think FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso must include below files .
base.txz kernel.txz MANIFEST src.txz
kernel-dbg.txz lib32.txz ports.txz tests.txz
but now, nothing i can get it. thanks. i we don't have those file , how to use it install a fresh 15.0 system ? thanks.
 
Code:
# mdconfig -t vnode -f FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
md0
# mount -t cd9660 -r /dev/md0 /mnt
# ls /mnt
.rr_moved       dev             media           rescue          usr
bin             etc             mnt             root            var
boot            lib             net             sbin
COPYRIGHT       libexec         proc            tmp
 
when i mount it to "/mnt" folder.
I think you've posted to these forums enough by now to know the drill (so that people can help you) - please show what exactly you've done - what exact commands did you use to "mount it to /mnt folder"?

Did you check your download was good? i.e. did you check the file size (1359900672) and checksum:

Code:
SHA256 (FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso) = 8cf8e03d8df16401fd5a507480a3270091aa30b59ecf79a9989f102338e359aa
 
all guys , are sure ? i am try again...
#mdconfig FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
#mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt
# ls /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/
MANIFEST

i am got only one file. ...where is the kernal.txz ,etc ?

but when i mount FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso , i can find kernal.txz ...

why FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso not incude kernal.txz and base.txz file ? thanks.

Dear richardtoohey2 :
i am new guy, so ask much more quesionts.
sha512sum -c CHECKSUM.SHA512-FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64
FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso: OK
FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso: OK

i think i can correctly mount iso file to /mnt folder. so i don't write the step. thanks.
 
It has relevant packages in usr/freebsd-packages/offline -- probably ran out of space to include kernel.txz etc and what you need is already in packages.

are you really professional ? . i need kernel.txz . FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso was 1.3GB ..is that not out of space ?. keep serous , please.
 
I would suggest using a memstick image:


memstick
This can be written to a USB memory stick (flash drive) and used to do an install on machines capable of booting off USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. There are no pre-built packages.

As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming the USB drive appears as /dev/da0 on your machine something like this should work:
# dd if=FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img \
of=/dev/da0 bs=1m conv=sync
Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.
 
oh, my mistake, we were looking at the -dvd1.iso — yeah, the other images are only going to have a pkgbase style install, which doesn't use the usual old-style distribution sets.
 
I've only used boot.img and it defaulted to normal pkg install, pkgbase being listed an an alternative possibility. Look at https://ostechnix.com/install-freebsd/ about midway down the page there's a screenshot where it says Distribution Sets on the left and Packages (Tech Preview) on the right. Or, do a search for packages on the page which will take you close to it.
 
right, it looks like boot.img contains neither, disk1.iso contains pkgbase, and dvd1.iso contains both, and choosing to do a dist-set install from a disk1.iso would require network access to get the dist-sets.

You could get FreeBSD installed using


This includes kernel.txz and base.txz which is the essence of FreeBSD.

It's not that easy to do but provides all that you need.

Unfortunately that is the latest publicly available version.
