You're right, of course. Sorry, and thanks for your help. So, my RPi2b is a v1.1. >> So, after >> dd'ing the 13.2 (release) SD image > > v1.1 would need: > > FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm-armv7-GENERICSD.img.xz > > instead of FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz > > v1.2 would need : > > FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz > > instead of: FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm-armv7-GENERICSD.img.xz Oh! Interesting. And confusing, because I didn't actually used *any* of the above. Instead, I've tried: FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI-B.img.xz That was the one that seemed to make more sense to me. I am now downloading the image you've suggested and I'll give it a try in a bit. Thanks a lot, Mark! And for completeness, the (working) image I tried for 12.4 was: FreeBSD-12.4-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI-B.img.xz /me goes try the new image.
