Hi,
i’m using FreeBSD-12.4-RELEASE-arm-armv7-RPI2.img on an old rpi2 model B  v1.1
if the serial is connected it boots, but halts at:
…

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.


Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK

typing ' boot’ continues and boots ok, so how to get it to not stop?

thanks,
	danny
