Code: 
root@GoFlexHome-FreeBSD:~ # pkg install pkg
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y
Bootstrapping pkg from http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:armv6/latest/, please wait...
pkg: Error fetching http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:armv6/latest//Latest/pkg.txz: Not Found
A pre-built version of pkg could not be found for your system.
Consider changing PACKAGESITE or installing it from ports: 'ports-mgmt/pkg'.

This led me to:-


where the instructions, as presented, did not work. Maybe that was that was the fault of a different version of FreeBSD. After persevering I got the following msgs:-
Code: 
setenv PACKAGESITE "http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:armv6/latest/"

root@GoFlexHome-FreeBSD:~ # pkg install pkg

I'm actually using ARMv5 so what should I amend? I assum there are some apps that will work on my system, but how do I install them?
 
Code: 
Tier-2 support package sets:

    FreeBSD:11:armv6 (only quarterly is updated)
    FreeBSD:11:mips (only quarterly is updated)
    FreeBSD:11:mips64 (only quarterly is updated)
    FreeBSD:12:armv6 (only quarterly is updated)
    FreeBSD:12:armv7 (only quarterly is updated)
    FreeBSD:12:mips (only quarterly is updated)
    FreeBSD:12:mips64 (only quarterly is updated)
    FreeBSD:12:powerpc64
    FreeBSD:13:armv6
    FreeBSD:13:armv7

You have an extra forward slash! Change the PACKAGESITE to
Code: 
"http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:armv6/latest"
and try again.

I decided to do a fetch

fetch http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:armv6/latest/All/pkg-1.8.5_1.txz

That worked... but then:-

Code: 
root@GoFlexHome-FreeBSD:~ # tar zxf pkg-1.8.5_1.txz

tar: Removing leading '/' from member names

vm_fault(0xc092b000, c72c4000, 1, 0) -> 2

Rebooting...

I can run fsck -y /dev/da0s2 on this USB stick on another system and it gets cleaned up, but then no longer boots on the GoFlex Home, and I need a reinstall before I can boot again... unless I can found out what is causing the kernel panic above.
 
I think there is a misunderstanding. pkg.txz [ 1 ], pkg-1.10.5_5.txz [ 2 ] , both 2019-Feb-09 02:02, latest builds from the head ports tree, are available for the armv6 platform. Follow the links.

[ 1 ] https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:armv6/quarterly/Latest/pkg.txz
[ 2 ] https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:armv6/quarterly/All/pkg-1.10.5_5.txz

In case of Tier-2 support package sets for armv6, FreeBSD:11:armv6 (only quarterly is updated), the newest (latest) builds are in quarterly. http://pkg.freebsd.org

That's because the quarterly Q2 branch was branched of a few days ago. So latest and quarterly are pretty much the same. This difference will diverge further and further until the end of Q2. When Q3 is branched off is will be the same again, etc.
 
All versions and all architectures have the same ports tree, thus also the same quarterly branches. But note that it might take a couple of days for the build servers to actually build the packages. Because this is a Tier 2 there's no guarantee this is actually done in a timely manner.

 
What I'm unclear about is what configuration files should be on a newly built system so that pkg() knows where to look? And what should be in those files?

My understanding is that pkg() expects to be directed by /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf and mine contains:-
Code: 
FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

Is this correct and if so why is it unable to locate the required pkgs?
 
Because this is the default configuration for any -RELEASE version, regardless of the architecture.

It's unable to locate any packages for the simple reason that you are on a Tier 2 architecture, not a Tier 1. There's simply no rule that states packages for Tier 2 architectures must exist.

Am I correct in thinking that I need to change:
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
to
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:11:armv6/quarterly",

to make it resolve correctly?
