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/
<https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/150/>
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 liberachat 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:

Hi Chris,
I had the same problem some time ago because I used to test
iso/bsdinstall every day. Fortunately, the re@ team explained the
cause and the solution to me.
The new development snapshot builds are propagated to the
mirror. It is non-atomic, so there is a bit of a possible race
condition. (This happens once a week, unless there is some sort of build
failure.)
You could subscribe to the freebsd-snapshots@ mailing list if you want
to be notified when the propagation is complete.
