Looking there once more, he was using older snapshot. Another mail I
read here yesterday inspired me to try 14.3 snapshot, just to be exact,
FreeBSD-14.3-STABLE-riscv-riscv64-GENERICSD-20250522-77521692f4c7-271541.img
is the file I used, and the boot process went up to mounting root
filesystem. It looks like the required drivers are just not there...

Note it works with default DTB from U-Boot this way, using DTB from
working Linux makes it stop early 'cannot read pmic power register'
message, which points, again, to missing drivers, if  am not mistaken.
