            Bug ID: 268631
           Summary: FreeBSD-13.1 fails to boot on raspberry pi and the
                    U-boot saveenv command does not work
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: arm
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: arm
          Assignee: freebsd-arm@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jjrushford@gmail.com

I have an issue trying to boot FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE on a Raspberry Pi Model=
 3B+
and the same issue on a Raspberry pi 4.  I'm using the
FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img written to an SD card.  On boot =
up,
it stops at the U-boot prompt and does not proceed until I enter the command
"boot".  I wish to auto boot FreeBSD without having to intervene with the
"boot" command at the U-boot prompt.  I'm told that if I set "bootdelay=3D0=
" at
the U-boot prompt and then save it, that this will solve the issue and so t=
hat
FreeBSD boots up when power is supplied.  I've tried to set bootdelay=3D0 a=
t the
U-boot prompt using:

setenv bootdelay 0
saveenv

the "saveenv" fails to write the change to flash though with an error.  Oth=
er
people I've discussed this with on the freebsd forums have said that the
"saveenv" command fails for them as well and they are unable to save change=
s.

So there are basically two issues that I have:

1) FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE does not boot up when power is supplied, the boot
sequence stops at the U-boot prompt.
2) The U-boot "saveenv" command fails to write changes to flash
