I don't know yet how to quote text the original email contents, when 
making a straight email reply, from email mozilla thunderbird application.
Here is my feeble attempt.   I will have to read and learn more.   I 
just want the md5 , sha256, or sha512 checksum of uboot.bin

             Bug ID: 259438
            Summary: 12.3-BETA1 SD image does not boot on Raspberry Pi 3B+
            Product: Base SystemYou
            Version: 12.3-RELEASE
           Hardware: arm64
                 OS: Any
             Status: New
           Severity: Affects Many People
           Priority: ---
          Component: arm
           Assignee: freebsd-arm_at_FreeBSD.org
           Reporter: karels_at_freebsd.org

The 12.3-BETA1 image does not boot on Raspberry Pi 3B+ on SD card.  The
firmware doesn't seem to see the card, and tries to netboot.  The problem is
with u-boot.bin; replacing it with the version from 13.0-RELEASE makes it boot
and install.  The problem is apparently with the numbering of the MMC
interfaces.

Give us a MD5 or Sha256 or Sha512 checksum of the bad uboot.bin and the 
good uboot.bin file

you can use the md5deep tool to make it easier.Start md5deep web page  <http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/start-md5deep.html>
The date of the files are good. (sometimes the file date changes when it is copied from a central server to your local storage location.
  But the md5 or sha256 checksum, prove what the correct file is to use to duplicate your setup.  So I suggest using this tool to create an audit file of the directory /boot/ files.
(start.elf fixdat.elf etc.)

Thank you for this report on Rpi3 not booting.  That the correction is to change uboot.bin file.  This specific information helps us all using FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi units.

2nd, a text print out of the config.txt file, so then can read your particular details set in the config.txt text file.
