Pardon me, folks. I am new to these mailing lists. The situation is =0A= resolved. In case someone else should wonder about the Pi 4 8GB and =0A= FreeBSD, as of December 28, 2020, here is what I did.=0A= =0A= First, I carefully read the following in the recent archives of =0A= #freebsd-arm:=0A= =0A= https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2020-December/022776.html= =0A= =0A= https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2020-November/022701.html= =0A= =0A= Next, I ran the following steps to replace the incompatible boot files =0A= in the FreeBSD image:=0A= =0A= (1) Burn the most recent FreeBSD 13-CURRENT image for the RPI3 to my SD =0A= card with Etcher.io, making sure to uncheck the automatic unmount option=0A= =0A= (2) fdisk -l=0A= to find the relevant MSDOS partition, which in my case was /dev/sdd1=0A= =0A= (3) mkdir /media/d1=0A= =0A= (4) mount /dev/sdd1 /media/d1=0A= =0A= (5) Copy and paste the outside files linked in the discussion above into = =0A= /media/d1=0A= =0A= To be explicit, these are the 3 files that need to be replaced:=0A= start4.elf=0A= fixup4.dat=0A= u_boot.bin=0A= =0A= (6) sync=0A= =0A= (7) umount /dev/sdd1=0A= =0A= (8) Insert SD card into Pi and boot=0A= =0A= The Raspberry Pi 4 8GB now works wonderfully.
