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 :

Copying the firmware from RPI-foundation to the SD-card  is step 6 which will make the RPI4 bootable from uSD ….
(K.Evans:
----
...5. Install u-boot-rpi4, copy u-boot.bin over to the msdosfs partition

6. ???

7. Profit, but …..

Regards 
Klaus
