The installer part did not change since the forking happened. We use a custom installer that is older than what FreeBSD ships nowadays. All this takes is work and time and time and work.

I had that idea. Thanks for confirming it :-)
Now get back to work!

Looks like it.
Funny how it's waved off as not a bug. IMO it is if it worked fine before.

Well it is more an issue of the BIOS... also software.. ;-)
Guess they did not want to spend time investigating it.
However it would be great if it can be solved from within the installer..
If not..anyone who owns a Net6501 can try the "workaround" I described...

I'll try to look at it this week so that 15.1.12 will install fine. Most likely means adapting the bsdinstaller code to what FreeBSD uses for memsticks these days.

why not just use the nano image? I installed OPNsense-15.1.11.1_OpenSSL-nano-i386.img to an mSATA SSD and my soekris net6501-50 now boots fine.

That is indeed the best workaround at this time. I'm not sure whether the config importer works with NanoBSD style partition layout, but if it would then one could upgrade to a newer installation image and use the full disk as opposed to smaller slices due to the fixed NanoBSD sizes.
