Hello Klaus,
I updated the firmware from a sdcard made specially
for the puropse, as per
https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/blob/master/firmware/release-notes.md
Looking at the site you posted, it's unclear to me whether all the files, some
of them or just start4.elf and fixup4.dat from
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot need to be
overwritten now on the (ms-dos portion) of the freebsd sdcard. Bear in mind
that before I started updating the eeprom, I had already applied Rob's patch,
so yes was careful especially about bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb.
Anyhow, I grabbed master.zip from that site, unzipped it, backed up the old
start4.elf and fixup4.dat, copied the new ones over, plugged the card into the
pi and what I get now is the rainbow screen and that's it.
I'll revert the change (those two files) to get freebsd back again.
