At this point I don't have many details.  The unit is a 3-5 hour drive from me.  The person who set it up does not know much about what he is doing, and remembers most of it incorrectly.  He claims there is a console, but I don't know if its HDMI or USB based.  I think he was able to log into the unit, but that has not been confirmed.  All of my access has been through SSH.  I don't know for sure which RPI board this actually is.  I have heard 3 and 3B.  I suspect it is an older 3 through.  Ethernet, USB ethernet, and USB serial all work.  Shutdown -p does a reboot like shutdown -r.  Also the rc.conf method to extend the flash drive does not work.  I had to run the function the rc.d script calls manually to make that happen.

rbpi% uname -a
FreeBSD rbpi 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r320146M: Tue Jun 20 09:59:03 MDT 2017     raspberry at hive.raspbsd.org:/usr/home/brd/rpi3/crochet/work/obj/arm64.aarch64/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  arm64

I know he downloaded the image from the FreeBSD servers.  I think it was an earlier version of FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-PINE64-20180426-r333017.img.xz found at: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/

Supposedly I am being sent a unit in the next week or so and will be able to try to set it up myself and see how to make it work.
