40+32768 =3D=3D 32808, which overlaps with [32768..32768+102400)

My configuration uses the e.MMC through loading the
kernel (but the kernel gets the world from USB3).
(I do my own FreeBSD builds.)

The Rock64 boots just fine, no microsd card present.
For reference, my Rock64 Armbian installation on e.MMC
is shown as (gpart show output):
=3D> 63 244277185 da3 MBR (116G)
63 32705 - free - (16M)
32768 241795072 1 linux-data (115G)
241827840 2449408 - free - (1.2G)
Similarly, my Rock64 NetBSD installation on e.MMC
is shown as (again gpart show output):
=3D> 63 244277185 da3 MBR (116G)
63 32705 - free - (16M)
32768 163840 1 fat32lba [active] (80M)
196608 244080640 2 !169 (116G)
(These were accessed via a USB3 reader, not via
the Rock64. The Rock64 was otherwise engaged. I did
not build Armbian or NetBSD. I just used an image from
a standard place for each.)
All these start at 63 and avoid having the initial
free space overlapping the [32768.. 32768+???) area.
All these are MBR instead of GPT.
As I remember, the Rock64 has a jumper configuration
that can force microsd card booting, something I avoid
on the Rock64.
I've no clue of any of he above happens to have touched
on you actual problem. But at least I've got an FreeBSD
system that does the steps through loading the kernel
via using the e.MMC. So that much is possible.
