Re: install/60359: Sysinst, installing new 11.99.6 aarch64 vm: "ftp: Unsupported URL scheme `https'"

The iso from https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/20260623165324Z/images/NetBSD-11.99.6-evbarm-aarch64.iso was used.

I also tried later with the 11.0_RC5 iso, and the same thing happened

i.e. https scheme => invalid scheme, http => just hangs, ftp scheme => just works

Networking was set up in the VM, autoselect.

I think the certctl line completed successfully after unpacking the sets, but it was really difficult to tell, it happened very quickly.

Which install medium (or ramdisk kernel) are you using?
I did this yesterday from the USB image and all worked fine.

I could imagine a ftp version compiled with -DSMALL as part of a ramdisk
having no https support, but for aarch64 this sounds super strange.
And it would be kinda tricky to auto-detect this for sysinst, so we'd have
to pass a -DFTP_HAS_NO_HTTPS or simmilar to the crunched sysinst build
for that case.
