I am going to guess, that (1) as ia64 has quite a small installed base as compared with i386 & amd64, and (2) as disks 2 & 3 are merely packages (many of which may not build for ia64 in any case (I do not know, excoriate me not for my ignorance) and utterly unneeded to install the basic system, the maintainers, developers, or packagers may see building and distributing such a large number of rarely used or perhaps broken packages as a poor use of their time. Summary: those are empty iso images and appear to be so on all of the mirrors I checked. Don't worry about it, use disk1 to install and build your 3rd party applications from ports. -- --
