Hi Daniel, thanks for yr input.

Managed to get a little further with your instructions, but now the error i=
s=20
"no root partition found. The root FreeBSD partition must have a mountpoint=
 of '/'".

This happens after the disk is selected to install zfs-on-root

If I remove the zfs element from the script, re-run it then select auto
ufs, it gets a little further then fails at the point where it wants to
alter the MBR, with the same error message.

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. What I really need is an
installer. As far as I can tell, the only things available for
arm64.aarch64 for the rpi4 are bootable images - ie without installer.
