https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D274092 --- Comment #19 from Patrick M. Hausen <pmh@hausen.com> --- Oh, of course we should not perform the "serial number" magic on anything b= ut a RPi 3(+) and older. In general there might not be a serial available on some particular device. Sorry if I seemed to propose that. If you deploy a bunch of Pis with RPi OS (Debian) in your company network a= nd open your DHCP server overview page they will all show as "Raspberry Pi Foundation" + serial number, so if you took inventory in advance, you know which device is which etc. I am only arguing that FreeBSD on the Pi should not deliver a worse experie= nce. On the Pi only. Maybe it's not worth the effort. Anyway I can continue to help debug this but I need some more guidance, ple= ase. So build a debug kernel, crash the system again, then what? I don't have ac= cess to the system other than raw media access to the EMMC flash. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
