Anyone know how to get FreeBSD on a framework 13 laptop?

OK because I know you're going to ask... :-)

framework 13 laptop (MSI Crosshair 18 HX AI A2XWGKG-012US)[1],[2]
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 275HX [3]
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with NVIDIA Optimus supported [4]
LAN: Realtec RTL???? 2.5Gb
WiFi: Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211(2*2 ax)

I'm currently unable to boot any of 13.5,14.n,15.n or 16 on this laptop.
On 13.5 it hangs on sc (syscons(4)?) connect...
and on all others, it's a timing problem:

Event timer "HPET" frequency 19200000Hz quality 350
Event timer "HPET1" freq...
...
Event timer "HPET7" freq...
atrtc1: <AT realtime clock> on acpi0
atrtc1: Warning: Couldn't map I/O.

and that's where it stops/reboots.

In all cases, it hangs for some 5 to 7 seconds and reboots.
This is a UEFI only laptop. I'm not sure where to start. I'd feel more
confident on where to go from here. But w/o dmesg.boot, pciconf, ... I'm
a bit short on data.

The laptop I'm writing this from is a framework 12 on 16 and since I have
src/ I can build a kernel world with whatever kernel tweaks I need to make
this framework 13 laptop boot. I'll be glad to help in any way to make
FreeBSD work on these.

Thank you for all your time and consideration.
