An imperfect solution would be an improvement over the status quo. But, blind optimism triumphed over hard-earned experience, at least in this case 8-) Herb's advice worked, by combining the most recent Pi4 snapshot with the msdos files in the link provided in Manu's post: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware I probably wasn't efficient about it, simply overwriting everything that looked obviously relevant (and expecting to break something like the path to the kernel) but it worked. The HDMI console text is too big, but the keyboard works and top seems to see all 8 GB of RAM. Didn't think to check the mouse 8-( Alas, with no wired ethernet at the location I can't do much as-is. However, it does motivate me to consider a second Pi4 to be placed in my private "data center". Altogether it is a large step forward.
