After a lot of hair-pulling it turns out I didn't connect the usb-serial ground wire..... Now the machine boots FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img with no problem. I think the original problem was likely a bungled dd operation. When the card was put back in RasPiOS, config.text was reported "non-ascii", likely some kind of corruption. The image that boots was written with the Raspberry Pi Imager, which seems to verify after writing. In any case, all seems well now. Thanks for writing, and apologies for the noise! bob prohaska
