        Use after April 1, 2021 version; Re: Raspberry Pi 4B does not
        detect devices in USB 3.0

I had a nonfunctional keyboard for 2 months, before I figured out, to try a different version.  I, mean,  They must have tested that version up in
the snapshot and NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS with running that version.?  Rghtt?  I mean they would have saw something run with the USB Keyboard for
they released that image to be placed up there for every one to grab and use?  Correct?   Well NO!  Can have any kind of problems with the software.
https://ghostbsd-arm64.blogspot.com/2021/02/download-freebsd-140-current-version.html

I took a different version of the file startx4.elf and over wrote the buggy version startx4.elf in the  MSDOS ESP EFI Fat32 partition of 50Megabytes.
Then my keyboard started working again.

I could figure out how to email you directly, Archimedes.  But not what to click to create a proper reply email from the email archives to answer properly with
a copied lines of your original email.  Can you tell me procedure to read  HTML email from archives, and then click and open up a reply mail in your Thunderbird email program.?
I am old ,  so a couple simple straight suggestions to know the dust loose in my brain, is helpful.

*Try a newer version of FreeBSD 14.0 Current for the raspberry Pi board 
4B is good. (or the 3+ version)

Have a tiny little telegram group   Arm Open-SourceARM Open-Source Telegram https://t.me/+ST6N61pnu3Di8zgk  <https://t.me/+ST6N61pnu3Di8zgk>   You are welcome to pop in and say hello. Archimedes and others.

My little goal,  Have the Raspberry Pi 4B, running FreeBSD 14.0 self hosting a compile station, using a 500GB SSD Sata external USB drive case.
pkg install xorg MATE  has the Desktop Environment (DE) running.  Have an external USB Wifi dongle working to connect to internet and download software.
Getting close to booting straight up from the 500 GB SSD, with many GPT partitions actuvated on it.
Refind EFI boot manager running in ARM64 ( aarch64 armv8 64 bit) to select FreeBSD 14.0 arm64; Manjaro arm64; POP!_OS arm64; Fedora 35 arm64;
https://ghostbsd-arm64.blogspot.com/2022/02/booting-500-gb-ssd-on-freebsd-arm64-140.html

Any howtos booting FreeBSD straight up from a USB SSD drive.  ( Can already boot up from a single USB flash drive ).

*Share what goals*  you have and what documents you have created to help the next guy out.  See you on Telegram and I appreciate your answers shared here FreeBSD-arm mailing list.
I have many url links to documents like U-BOOT at the booting-500-gb-ssd URL above.  What nice URLS that you read documents from have you used lately to go from scratch to bringing
up your Raspberry Pi with FreeBSD? or other Linuxes?  Share on my blog post in a comment or mention here on your next posts
