Hello everyone,
I was installing FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE on my laptop and I got the following error during installation:
Error fetching firmware file(s)
wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod-rtw8852b
gpu-firmware-amd-kmod-yellow-carp
I proceeded with the installation, but I don't seem to have access to wifi (e.g. installing pkg failed).
If it helps, my laptop model number is 21M5001FUS, and I am installing FreeBSD onto the second SSD (I have Ubuntu 24.04 on the first SSD and I'm using it to make this very post).
What should I try to do in this case?

I suspect that not "all is well" because when I try to install a package, e.g.

pkg install drm-kmod (after untethering my phone) I get an error about SRV records.
