It's marked Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, no rev that I can find.
The copyrwight date is 2018, so it's older than expected.

Guess my Pi4 is likely "BOT", given the age. 

After a lot of hair-pulling it turns out I didn't
connect the usb-serial ground wire..... 
Now the machine boots
FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img
with no problem.

I think the original problem was likely a bungled
dd operation. When the card was put back in RasPiOS,
config.text was reported "non-ascii", likely some
kind of corruption. The image that boots was written
with the Raspberry Pi Imager, which seems to verify
after writing. In any case, all seems well now.

Thanks for writing, and apologies for the noise!
