FreeBSD does not handle the bounce buffers correctly when UEFI/ACPI is used. Only U-Boot is officially supported. Ignoring other currently existing problems with booting UEFI/ACPI, even if/when it boots, the file system I/O is subject to random corruptions from the mishandling. (Sufficiently large file use can make the existence of some corruptions reliable, but where varies.) To have a reliable RPi* system that is unpatched, avoid any form of UEFI with ACPI, including EDK2. (My builds have experimental patches that have never produced the corruptions in my corruption testing. But it is mixed with leftovers of other experiments/explorations as well.) I suggest checking on bootability via official snapshots dd'd to media. If that works, then smeothing more specific is going on for the other forms of producing media that are being tried. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
