Writing 14-stable rpi image to usb3 (from another freebsd box), unplugging it then plugging it into the usb3 port of the rpi4 then booting works for me. Same goes for -current. This installation method creates MBR partitions with all of freebsd on / which I don't want. I wanted several ufs partitions (I don't want zfs at all) and GPT which is why I went down the bsdinstall route. For some reason, copying the boot partition from the sd card and rebooting to usb3 didn't work for me, the last time I tried it. It has worked in the past. That's when I entered the rabbit hole of trying the latest from pftf/RPi4.
