It is working using UEFI.  The system is a Traverse Ten64.

I just used a memstick image like

https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/FreeB=
SD-15.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20250206-9ef38a01aea8-275290-memstick.img.xz=


but the actual one I used is from over a year ago.

After uncompressing the file, I dd=E2=80=99ed it to a usb stick.

After getting the serial console connected, I booted off
the usb stick and then did a =E2=80=9Cnormal=E2=80=9D install to the
internal nvme drive using GPT partitioning.

root@ten64-2# gpart show

I don=E2=80=99t recall having to do anything with a .dtb file.

I have U-boot configured to boot from the efi
partition.
