Anyone willing to provide notes or instructions
for setting up a MACCHIATOBin (double shot) to boot
FreeBSD head from a SATA SSD? (Failing that: a USB
storage device?) (Failing that: microsd card?)
This could well include notes/instructions about
what needs to be on the media that may be unique
to the MACCHIATOBin. I realize that various things
will not work yet. I'd just explore some of what
does work.

Needing to have the kernel and earlier stages
and a preliminary /etc/fstab and /boot/loader.conf
on an microsd card but getting the UFS file system
(/) from the SATA SSD is likely a workable combination,
similar to what I've sometimes done on smaller
single board computers. For such, it is the kernel
and earlier stages where I'm unclear on the details
for the MACCHIATOBin double shot.

For context for the example MACCHIATOBin double shot
Rev 1.3 that I have access to:
