Hi Bob,
wow, hot discussion here :-)
`was more a "joke“ with the „promise to help FreeBSD“ or in other words I didn’t think of money,
With ‚help' I meant bug reports( in best case with patches), reading sourc- codes src .
O.K., I’ll write a tutorial to the FreeBSD- forums tonight.
But to say it here first, point 6 of Kyle Evans with the 2 question marks is :

(K.Evans:
----
...5. Install u-boot-rpi4, copy u-boot.bin over to the msdosfs partition
6. ???
7. Profit, but …..

Regards
Klaus
