Aarch64 will hold it=E2=80=99s Tier2-status in Fbsd 13, so many devs are = busy on Tier1 or other platforms & things. I know since months that RPI-UEFI-dev has a triple boot-option and that=20= A lot oft things(including the kernel hang if booted(it boots!) in = DeviceTree mode) DO NOT WORK. At the time I wrote about rpi4-uefi-dev RPI4-UEFI-dev didn=E2=80=99t = even boot to the root-prompt in FreeBSD in ACPI-mode. Again: the Wiki ISN`T a user=E2=80=99s support-site for working = environments but I=E2=80=99m happy if it expands=20 it`s popularity for all kind of users/devs, for everybody. (in best case = people who want to help in developing or even of course in extending the = Wiki) . Klaus
