I saw this too with 11.2-BETA1, but due to inconsistencies between two
different BeagleBone SoCs used to test, could not rule out if the
problem was due to local hardware failure.

Specifically, one of two I have has the EMMC overwritten to avoid
needing to "manually" boot FreeBSD, and the UART does not work correctly
(because I am dangerous with solder), and nothing outputted on the HDMI
console.  The other system has working EMMC, seemingly broken HDMI
output, but working UART that only displayed repeated 'C' when booting.

So, I wasn't entirely sure if it was "just me" or not.

Could you please open a PR about this, assigned to freebsd-arm@ and with
re@ in CC?
