Well, it is a mix, I think (unsure).

I started with:

# dd =
if=3DFreeBSD-13.1-STABLE-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20220729-db2eff1cff8-251976.img=
 of=3D/dev/da0 conv=3Dsync,fsync bs=3D1m status=3Dprogress

5120+0 records in

5368709120 bytes transferred in 21.816899 secs (246080301 bytes/sec)

I plugged the USB3 SSD into an old 8 GiByte RPi4B and it booted.

. . .
Starting file system checks:

. . .

But, after logging in:

root@generic:~ # gpart show
=3D>       63  468862065  da0  MBR  (224G)
         63       1985       - free -  (993K)
       2048     102400    1  fat32lba  [active]  (50M)
     104448  468757680    2  freebsd  (224G)

root@generic:~ # gpart show -p
=3D>       63  468862065    da0  MBR  (224G)
         63       1985         - free -  (993K)
       2048     102400  da0s1  fat32lba  [active]  (50M)
     104448  468757680  da0s2  freebsd  (224G)

So 1985 and 2048 are there, as intended.

But no explicit da0s2 BSD or da0s2a freebsd-ufs shows up
in gpart show's output.

I wonder if this is because of a lack of a distinct
starting offset vs. the BSD. For example, the old 2016
and 2079 alignment had showed:

=3D>        0  468757737   da0s2  BSD  (224G)
          0         57          - free -  (29K)
         57  468757680  da0s2a  freebsd-ufs  (224G)

where the 57 was, appearently, for alignment. May be now
the distance from the da0s2 to da0s2a is zero and so
BSD and its contained da0s2a is not now shown?

I've yet to try the 14-CURRENT.
