If so, it does not even load the FreeBSD loader, much less start it. Replacing u-boot.bin in the msdosfs file system with a copy of the older one from FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img should avoid that issue. (No claim such is the only issue around.) > and the 13.1 release (FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz). I just copied: FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img to a USB3 NVMe boot media and use it to boot a 8 GiByte "C0T" RPi4B with a monitor attached. It worked fine. However, only the video connection closer to the USB3 power connection gets a login prompt. The other one just displays the RPi* rainbow screen. I had to move the cable to be plugged in to the connector closer to the USB3 power connection. I knew it had booted all the way to the login prompt because the login prompt showed up on the serial console that I have set up. (Analyzing early boot problems without a serial console setup is itself problematical.) One known issue relative to monitor use is size problems from the config.txt line: hdmi_safe=3D1 That can be commented out or set to 0 instead to see if things improve on reboot. (It is rare that I have a monitor connected: serial console and ssh over Ethernet use normally.) > With both these boot images the boot process does not get to the > FreeBSD boot loader -- the process stops at the initial color splash > screen. My guess: you plugged the monitor cable into the connector that is farther away from the USB3 power connector. > Is this a known issue? Any recommerndations on how to debug the boot = process? >=20 I do recommend having a serial console set up and operating generally. FYI for FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img=20 content: # strings /boot/msdos/u-boot.bin | grep "U-Boot 20" U-Boot 2021.07 (May 12 2022 - 07:00:33 +0000) Back to recent 14.0-CURRENT (a.k.a. main) as a context: Some recent work temporarily lead to RPi4B's not rebooting for the likes of "shutdown -r now". That has been addressed but I'm not sure which main [so: 14] snapshot would be the first with the fix. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
