I have 13.0-RC3 working well on a RPi 4B with 8GB RAM. The only problem
I have is the efifb is working with very low resolution, and that would
unusable for my desktop use. It current reports "VT(efifb): resolution
592x448" on a 1280x1024 monitor, but I haven't figured out a way to use
the full monitor resolution. Raspbian does work properly, and my RPi 2B
running FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE also works properly with the same monitor,
but they don't use efifb.
