            Bug ID: 222200
           Summary: aarch64 FreeBSD 11 image not available for RPI 3
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: arm64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: arm
          Assignee: freebsd-arm at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: tarjei at online.no

There seems to be a lack of 64bit aarch64 images for FreeBSD 11 in general. The
images posted at 

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/11.1/
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/

seems to not be suitable for any of the popular aarch64 devices.

I notice that there is a lot of images for devices like the Raspberry PI 3 in
the FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT snapshot section.
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/

The corresponding 11.0 section do not have images for these devices.

I find it weird that there is a lot of support in FreeBSD 12, but none for
FreeBSD 11. And it is also annoying since I happen to need aarch64 FreeBSD 11
in order to test the gcc6-aux port which have an Ada compiler which does not
work on FreeBSD 12.
