FreeBSD aarch64 on Apple M1 VM

[Andrea Brancatelli]

Hello everybody, 

I'm not 100% sure this is the right place to as, in case please point me
toward the correct place... (/dev/toilet :-) ) 

I was trying to run FreeBSD aarch64 in a Parallel Desktop VM on a Apple
M1 Minimacbut wasn't able to install it. 

I tried different ISOs with different results: 

 	* FreeBSD-12.2-STABLE-arm64-aarch64-20201203-r368289-bootonly.iso
 	* FreeBSD-12.2-STABLE-arm64-aarch64-20201224-r368787-bootonly.iso
 	*
FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20201224-3cc0c0d66a0-255241-bootonly.iso

FreeBSD 12.2 boots but hangs ad "Mounting local filesystems" (see
attached screenshot). 

FreeBSD 13.0 just shows a white block in the upper left corner but
doesn't boot. 

I tried to fiddle with some settings of the VM with no particular
results. 

Do you have any troubleshooting suggestion? 

Thanks
