These images are for "well supported" Arm boards and are an easy way to get up and running. To apply an image to an SD card, I typically use xzcat <img-name-here>.img.xz | dd of=/dev/da0 bs=1M where ./dev/da0 is whatever device your SD card is found at (check dmesg if you're not sure. "geom part list /dev/da0" can also be helpful ) UFS will automatically grow the partition to the size of the SD card on first boot. If you wish to create your own image, you can look at crochet (a build too written in bash) or there is an excellent write up by Udit on building custom images here: http://uditagarwal.in/index.php/2018/04/17/building-freebsds-sdio-driver-for-beaglebone-black/ Hope that helps?
