However I thought it worth saying that the OpenBSD team have done a great job with their support for the RPi4b 8GB. I used the release version of 6.8 arm64 (miniroot68.img), and the 1.22 release of https://github.com/pftf/RPi4/. 8GB RAM USB: all working GENET: working (not quite as fast as FreeBSD) USB boot: no problemo This is working fully in pure ACPI mode, NO DEVICE-TREE ! (As far as OS is concerned). The only manual intervention required during installation was to copy the EDK2 boot files to the DOS partition. The system has not been fully tested yet but so far it appears that 'everything works' :) However I am hoping to continue keeping this shop a 'FreeBSD shop'. Shame the FreeBSD 'genet' driver has no ACPI support..
