I don’t attempt to keep track of either system, but both of them came up in a recent discussion about 32-bit security updates:

… How to install packages from the disc: …
Plus, there’s a simpler, three-step routine if using the medium (not necessarily a disc) after installation of the OS – before exiting the installer.
/bin/csh
setenv REPOS_DIR /dist/packages/repos
– then use pkg
commands as normal.
You’ll have the DVD repo alone – with an archaic name, FreeBSD_install_cdrom
– none of the online repos. This offline repo includes things such as graphics/drm-515-kmod, but not things such as x11/nvidia-driver. We can’t have everything offline in this way, DVD image space is constrained.
When you want no more from the offline DVD repo:
exit
– then, if an Internet connection was gained during installation, online repos will be available.
