Dear Developers of FreeBSD sparc64,

I have downloaded official image from:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/sparc64/sparc64/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-sparc64-dvd1.iso.xz

Seems that the FreeBSD sparc64 package repository does not exist at all:

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 pkg+
http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:sparc64/quarterly, please wait...
pkg: Error fetching
http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:sparc64/quarterly/Latest/pkg.txz: No
address record
A pre-built version of pkg could not be found for your system.
Consider changing PACKAGESITE or installing it from ports: 'ports-mgmt/pkg'.


The FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-sparc64-dvd1.iso.xz image contains a package
repository for amd64 but not for sparc64.

Thank you,
Alex
