Update installation-instructions.md: 14.1 -> 14.2

[bsdlme]

The latest release is 14.2

I had issues with that. It appears that drm-61-kmod is linked against 14.1-RELEASE in pkg, so you have to build it from ports. Otherwise you get hard to escape problems when the module is loaded & kills the kernel.

Good point! This was mitigated with a new kmod repository, though:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/kmods_quarterly_2/
and
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/kmods_latest_2/

You just need to add them to an additional pkg repo config file and give it a higher priority than the regular FreeBSD repository.

Is that still needed or can the default repository work?

It is still needed until FreeBSD 14.1 is out of support and the package builder uses 14.2 to build the packages.

The packages in default repository are built on the least officially supported version of that branch. This is fine for almost everything as the ABI compatibility is guaranteed in a major version. However some kernel module packages are not lucky and sensitive to minor version. So there are separated built repositories for each supported minor versions.

I'd like to make it so that the ansible roles here configure everything, without having to do anything else.
So if I need to add extra repos, could you please help me add that to the role as well?
Otherwise, we should wait to update this until no extra config is needed.
