I'm trying to install -current (or stable/13 or releng/13.0) to a
bootable usb3-connected external hd on raspberry pi 4 hardware. The goal
is to have this pi booting without microsd to a root-on-zfs system.

I have used raspios 64-bit to update its firmware and configured it so
it tries to boot the microsd card and if this fails, boots to usb3. Took
out that card, wrote
FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20210415-14d0cd7225e-246078.img
to another and booted it, then ran bsdinstall and selected the external
hd. The install fails to progress beyond the point I mentioned.

Maybe another wau of doing it would be to just write
FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20210415-14d0cd7225e-246078.img
to the hd from my freebsd desktop. Would that method be expected to
work? The thing is, I want root-on-zfs *and* booting with no microsd.
Just writing the .img to the hd would mean i'd have to abandon zfs.
