Thanks for the heads-up. I saw this only after encountering the proble;
I should have looked here first ;)

Can the issue be sidestepped using materials working at the moment with
13.1R-p6 ? The VC_BUILD_ID_TIME for start4.elf is Feb 25 2021. I was
thinking of taking eg:

FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20230316-cee09bda03c8-261544.img

mounting the msdos partition with mdconfig, removing what's there and
copying over the known-to-be-working contents of /boot/efi on the 13.1
system?

additionally, how can I stop the msdos partition being clobbered on the
working system in some future freebsd-update of the working 13.1-p6
system?
