I did and now I=E2=80=99m sure that you don=E2=80=99t own an =
RPI4-8GB(because the image doesn=E2=80=99t boot from USB/SSD)..
But the good news is that you have everything done well in =
=E2=80=9Eorganizing=E2=80=9C the firmware-port.
With this last image the start4.elf & fixup4.dat is fine ! So:good work.
So it=E2=80=99s all about : https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26853=20
which fixes pcie/usb-bootup-firmware-issues.( tested by me & Andy for =
now).

 it=E2=80=99s  bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb which(currently) has to differ if we =
want to boot straight up from USB/SSD .
I say `currently` because that could change upstream. But why struggle =
with upstream if we can fix it ourselves?

That=E2=80=99s awesome  news, Andy=20
and many many thanks for all your extensive tests !
So we can probably say that currently we don=E2=80=99t have to struggle =
with different silicon-version, very good news.

And while #0XJTAG-Boss Rob privately is booting from a poor =
uSD-fingernail himself,
the nicest present he gave us is the USB/SSD-bootup ;-) , superf**king =
fast, 10 times faster(measured) than uSD, great!
