Hello, I am new to FreeBSD for any architecture. Was trying out FreeBSD 13 downloaded from here[1] on RPI4 8G device. However the device did not go past the splash screen. As some web pages suggest (probably those were for RPI40), tried inserting the sd card into a USB adapter and tried booting from USB. But the device then shows "insert SD card" message. I had dd'ed it on an sdcard. This operation looks ok as I am able to mount and examine the sdcard's boot partition on Linux. The device normally runs Raspberry OS and is working fine. Please suggest if there is something I could try. [1] https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/13.0/FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz -- Mayuresh
