            Bug ID: 294308
           Summary: bsdinstall via pxe/tftpboot fails when "Packages" is
                    selected
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: David.Boyd49@twc.com

FreeBSD 15.0-STABLE (recent 20260402)

When installing using pxeboot, if "Packages" is selected, the install process
emits (via dialog box):

Installation of base system failed

An installation step has been aborted. Would you like to restart the
installation or exit the installer?

If "Traditional" is selected, everything completes as expected.


This error is also present with 15.0-RELEASE and 16.0-CURRENT


If bsdinstall is via memstick.img or ISO image, no error is exhibited.


I am currently circumventing this problem with Traditional+pkgbasify.

This problem is identical whether running on a VM (KVM) or on bare metal.
