Hi FreeBSD mailing list,

I have recently started to look at the CURRENT isos, for installation in a virtualbox, and while trying to install these images I have received verification issues with the checksums.

Problem: FreeBSD installer will error out of the installer upon verification of checksums, they do not align with the checksum files in the directory: https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/

Steps to replicate:

  1.  Create a virtualbox profile with freebsd
  2.  Attach one of the below iso images
  3.  Run the installation
  4.  Select keymap
  5.  Select partition setup (UFS)
  6.  Select packages to install
  7.  Program starts verifying the base package and comes back with the error message

I have confirmed this with some people on the libera.chat IRC server, under #freebsd and this is not an isolated event.

The 3 iso images in question are:

  *   FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-amd64-20231216-ca39f23347e1-266973-bootonly.iso
  *   FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-amd64-20231228-fb03f7f8e30d-267242-disc1.iso
  *   FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-amd64-20231223-dac33a65b965-267058-bootonly.iso

Here are the respective checksums for each of these files:
